The only "see" lights on vehicles are the headlamps and backup lamps. All the other lights are "be seen" lights, although some convey additional information (such as turning or braking). DRL are also "be seen" lights. Lights on when raining are also usually "be seen" lights.
But yes, people on foot and people on bikes are important road users. I for one when I'm on my bike or on foot like to see the vehicles that are coming at me. Do you?
PEOPLE ON BIKES WANT TO SEE PEOPLE ON BIKES! This has nothing to do with motordom.
