Yes, it's frustrating seeing unraked footprints in the traps. I treat them like unrepaired ball marks on the greens. If I have time after I've played out of the bunker, I rake not only my prints ( don't forget to smooth over your divot and the crater your ball made when it hit the sand initially) but nearby unrepaired damage. If I putt out first and have time, I'll go into a trap and repair some footprints or damage from people entering/exiting from the high side instead of the low side. All the extra work is done IF I won't hold up play.
I was always taught to leave the course better than I found it.
