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?

Because there’s no point in stopping traffic for crosswalk activity if there’s no one who actually needs to use the crosswalk. At least in my area the button-activated ones are on busier roads so it makes more sense to only stop traffic on those roads when someone needs to cross.
