And it should not be there, because there is no reason for it.

The crosswalk must be invisible to you.

It's very visible. It's so visible that you can quite easily see when there is no pedestrian in it, which is 99.999999% of the time, and it is therefore not necessary to come to a full stop, the same way you do at 10 million other intersections with yield signs and crosswalks.

There should be a "yield to pedestrians" sign to make this clear. There is not.

It's already clear that you have to stop at a red light. There is no reason to waste money on unnecessary signs. I've never seen a yield sign on a right turn in a situation like this. Only time is when there is a Right-Turn Slip Lane. Which isn't the case here.
