It's for pedestrian safety not car safety. A car hitting a bike doesn't destroy the car.
A pedestrian and a bike don't require rules for flow control. Unlike cars and pedestrians, bikes and pedestrians are pretty compatible in the same spaces. It's trivial to roll through a stop sign and go around a pedestrian crossing the street.
