Its simply a reflection of how and where most people ride bikes.
Agreed. Where I ride there are no pedestrians and rarely other cyclists, just motor vehicles and farming equipment. I wonder how effective my little bell will be to the guy driving the tractor, versus just using my voice (assuming I have the breath, I am pretty new to this).

But I suppose it is better to stick the bell on the bike rather than risk a lawyer saying I was not following all the legal safety requirements.
