This "feature" has been talked about for years. It's a way to protect us from our inattentive selves.

Read: look both ways when crossing the street, kids.
Was on a marked pedestrian crossing that is located close to the end of each aisle, where sightlines around each corner are obscured by walls. I wasn’t on my phone or anything. It would have helped if the dude wasn’t going 25-30 mph in a parking garage, but we’ve all learned to listen if you can’t fully see around something like a corner.

I don’t disagree that pedestrian attentiveness is crucial. But this is a shared responsibility with motorists, and people on both sides can be idiots. So my point is that ensuring EV’s are not completely silent is a good idea irrespective of what pedestrians are supposed to do.
