But even when they caved and paved the desire path (good), a new desire path was created.

Look at the original desire path it goes to the corner the paved path is offset 30 degrees because people want to access the crosswalk not the sidewalk then the crosswalk

Whoever was trying to force it was an idiot, and people are savages.

(Although I actually question if it would end this way)

Yeah, but if you make things too curvy they no longer fit together well. And can be hard to build depending on the construction methods used.
