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?

Quite simply, because most of the time, these buttons are not even connected to the light in the first place. Pressing tha button makes you think it’s going faster, but it does not.
