Why do non-pedestrian controlled crossings need the button pushed?

There are plenty of intersections where a walk signal comes on automatically, why do some intersections require a button push to initiate the walk signal when it doesn’t seem to make a difference in light timing or duration?

It does make a difference here in the timing. Much more time if a pedestrian is crossing.

Some you need to push the button to get the walk signal, and it clearly says it, and people look dumbfounded by the fact they were too lazy to push the button now they don’t get to cross
