Because people all need to get to different places, and walking/wheelchairing half a kilometre in one direction to access a bridge and then walk back sucks
Dang, too bad no one’s ever thought of that… Oh wait
Dang look at the size of them, its almost like you can’t put them at every cross walk…
Oh and the cost isn’t prohibitive, who would have thunk?
And it only increases the walking distance by a factor of 3. How efficient!
Why would every intersection need one?

Not every intersection is busy enough to warrant this.
I.e. not every pedestrian matters
If a road has one vehicle come by every hour, you expect a raised pedestrian bridge? A lighted crosswalk is totally fine.
Context matters, but exaggerate to make your point i guess.
