This is a bad comparison. "Duck hunting at the playground" is more similar to driving your truck through a playground than it is to hitting a pedestrian who enters a roadway full of active traffic.
Why should it be the driver's fault if someone else puts them in a situation where a negative outcome is unavoidable?

Because playing in the street used to be normal - so normal it was taken as a given, and drivers stole that.
If you shoot a kid you probably can't get away with "well I was duck hunting at the playground, it was an accident!", but run them down in your truck and you'll have a sympathetic judge telling you this shouldn't stop you from getting back behind the wheel, and how the kid shouldn't have been there.
