They're not walkable because the are designed for cycling long distances in a day. Some find the eggbeater platform doesn't work for long distances because the platform isn't as big as SPD or SPD-SL pedals. Not everyone is planning on doing big daily mileage when touring so it depends on the rider.

notably the eggbeater with a platform (Candy series) pedal has much more surface area for a MTB style shoe to press on than the bare eggbeater, and is popular for touring.

It's marketed and sold as a gravel/XC MTB pedal but has many other uses.
