While some people may not have a problem, some do. The reason why the detour is a problem is it is on road in traffic. Some people are not comfortable riding here. For them, it's basically an impassable void. If I had kids of a young age, I'm not sure I'd trust them on the detour for example.
This is especially true in winter. In summer I don't mind riding all over roads, but in winter, I'm very uncomfortable riding on roads because of the risk of slipping in the snow. Even I find riding down in the snow on Park to detour here unnerving.
The problem with this detour isn't about distance really, but some are, Weber is a half KM away from King, but cars are meant to cover great distances quickly. A 0.5 km detour in a car is equally inconvenient to a 200 meter detour on a bike, and equally bad to a 50 meter detour on foot---seat of the pants estimates.
