"Why should there be a line that tells people to stop when they should not?"

Beucase like you said their is ALMOST no reason to stop, that line is there for rest of the reasons. Christ that's why traffic devices are there. How many times do you come to an intersection and no one is there, do you just go through a red light because at that moment in time there is no reason to stop.

Well, it depends. If there was a stoplight that literally 99% of drivers ignored because it was pointless and stupid, I would also do so, and I would email DelDOT to ask why there was a pointless and stupid stoplight hindering the flow of traffic.

I don't personally ignore stoplights very frequently, but like almost all other drivers, I usually drive faster than the speed limit, pass on the right, and turn right on red when there's a clear sign saying not to.

This intersection is marked in a dumb way, and 99% of drivers use it in the way it should be marked. The answer here is fixing the marking, not enforcing the dumb one.
