This question includes assumptions which are not justified.
Our engineers are automatons who apply standards without thinking, there is no standard requiring thoughtful corners on MUTs so there aren't any, sadly unless there is someone on them every step of the way, they'll do stuff like this pretty much by wrote.
FWIW...that's actually connecting to another MUT, but you'd never know it, because it was only built as a non-compliant sidewalk...our engineers had this conversation:
Engineer 1: "what's a MUT, that's a wide sidewalk right?"
Engineer 2: "Yeah, sounds right."
E1: "Hmm...I don't have room for a wide sidewalk...."
E2: "Okay, just a regular sidewalk then..."
E1: "well I don't even have that much room..."
E2: "I'm sure it's fine."
