I disagree, as a pedestrian I have to walk around FTTC and terminal boxes every day.

Imagine if they were installed off the kerb, on the road instead of the pavement. There would be uproar.

Fiber boxes (and cable boxes) here are all at least twelve feet above ground level up on a pole. You never 'walk around them' unless you are levitating.
