It's about striking a balance between ALL road users. Not an easy task, but you can't always but pedestrians first, or in some cases, you can't put vehicular traffic first.
Prime example...the photo you posted at King and Dundurn. With a double-left turn lane from Dundurn to King, I suspect there are hundreds of vehicles making that move in peak hours. So isn't prohibiting peds from crossing better for the ENTIRE system? If peds were allowed to cross, the green time for the dedicated left would decrease, which would just add to congestion along Dundurn. Would that be more acceptable? Especially if it backed up to Main Street and blocked that intersection and made it less safe for pedestrians?
