What am I missing?

Your car keys? Your wallet?

There's a small chance that somebody wasn't aware these too wide grate gaps were a thing to watch out for--I haven't seen one of these in decades, actually. I don't know why you think your comment that the warning is not useful is useful, for that matter. In any event, what's the harm in posting it? And I thought the municipal liability or lack thereof aspect of it was interesting.
