Well, perhaps you are stuck on the present and not looking to the future.
With the probable growth, sidewalks will be needed
Like I said, it’s two miles from town and along the busy highway where few people are likely to walk. And the planning commissions are unlikely to improve infrastructure on their own. For example. a large shopping center was built nearby along a two lane road. They didn’t start improving the infrastructure until the shopping center had been completed for about a year.
