Because it used to be enforced. You would actually get jaywalking tickets. Also tickets for drivers who don't stop for pedestrian crossings. So if you go to a marker for pedestrians (with or without lines) the cars will stop and let you cross. Nobody is slowing down for random bozo in the middle of the street though, so there's no point in jaywalking. It takes longer to cross that way.
