More likely the house was built before mass car use became the

Why equip it with a driveway at all then ?

Well the driveway would have been built later. If you look at the
house you will see it has no garage. Maybe it was built when cars were
quite rare so there is only possible provision for one if needed and a
dropped kerb would be an extra.

I find it quite remarkable that motorists expect taxpayers to provide
them with dropped kerbs for free, at a 2000 quid a pop. Whatever next?
If they can't afford to run a car they should do without.
