The same reason we might invest in traffic lights or stop signs even though cars regularly ignore them.

This is a bad example because it implies that the bikes aren't observing traffic laws.

A more analogous would be that some cars choose to go off roading, or spend most of their time in driveways or parking lots - or some only drive to car shows or parking lots. A much more accurate analogy would be cars that only drive in one and never use the left lane for passing.
