124 pedestrians in one of the most walked cities in the world, with a total population of 8.38 million, an additional 2+ million daily work commuters, tourists, and other visitors?

That’s effectively zero.

Yes, it is very low! But it's still 124 unnecessary deaths, and it seems not unreasonable to want it to be lower.

That’s just the number that died. The number hit and injured is way higher.
