One of the reasons why is that spanking and so on are now considered child abuse. Pain is a really quick and effective way of getting an idea across. However, using the non-pain methods take a lot more concentrated effort by the parent over a much longer time period, and some parents just can't do that, so the lesson is never learned.
As for responsibility, I agree with you. But a toddler pretty much doesn't understand that concept, and the responsibility one can give them at that age is a much smaller thing compared to the responsibility of not dashing into traffic, hence the loop rope device.
