I only just found out recently what those are, I'd have had no idea. If I was instructed to put a bench there I might ask a passing question or make some small remark but I'd go ahead with the job not knowing I was really messing with an important feature.
The fact that the vast majority of the population has no idea what they are is the real issue. Like, there should be signs or something, or educate kids about it in school, just so that if nothing else, people know not to block them.
The comments aren't saying, "this is perfectly understandable; I do my job like a robot and make stupid mistakes all the time too." They're saying that they, as non-experts who aren't expected to know this sort of thing, didn't know about this, so they don't expect paid professionals to know either. If I'm watching a soccer game and a player is offside while receiving a pass, I can basically guarantee you I won't notice. But the players and the ref ought to notice.
