Why are Stop Lines (in the US, at least) often set too far back to see any crossing traffic?

I’ve seen them called “Stop Lines”, “Balk Line”, etc. The thick line painted on the road at a Stop Sign.

You’re supposed to stop before the line, but a lot of the time there’s a bush or other obstruction so you can’t see any crossing traffic. You have to creep forward until you can see anything.

Is there a reason for this? Is it done on purpose? It makes sense if there’s a crosswalk or something, but I see it a lot where there shouldn’t be any pedestrian activity.

You’re supposed to stop behind the line and then ease forward.

IIRC in the US this depends on the state, in some states you can go straight past the stop line if you don’t see any pedestrians on approach.

A lot of times that’s where people cross the street. Want people to stop before the spot people might step out into.
