What does this have to do with robots? What does a local government failure to provide cycling infrastructure have to do with private businesses co-opting public shared resources?
There is cycling infrastructure, the cyclists just choose to use pedestrian sidewalks. If cyclists infringing on pedestrian pathways isn't enforced, why should robots infringing on pedestrian pathways be enforced?
It doesn't really matter in this case. Even if we assume the lack of cycling infrastructure justifies cyclists taking over pedestrian paths, that must mean robots are also justified in taking over pedestrian paths since there is no dedicated infrastructure for robots.

Is there actual cycling infrastructure, or is it just a painted line on car infrastructure done in a way that only a suicidal person would use it?
My country has great cycling infrastructure. I never see bikes on the sidewalk. There is a direct link between the two.

No it doesn’t. Laws and regulations aren’t equations and don’t need to be perfectly balanced. There is no QED here with your reasoning.
