Did you never experience the situation where someone you care about is making a choice you think is wrong, and you want to protect them from themselves?

I'm not saying this is the right thing to do. I'm just trying to explain how it happens. People don't make good risk judgements in general, and other people think that it is good to do good by force. This is why seat belts are mandatory, smoking is discouraged, drugs are illegal, public companies traded on exchanges are strongly regulated, and so on and so forth.

You really don't understand why we choose the option where less people die? We value life, I guess.
