>They are pointless when nobody else is around though. It's still good to slow down just to be safe, but there's no reason to come to a full stop.
And yet people still get hit rolling through stop signs.

Not when there aren't any other people around they don't.
Stop signs are good things to follow when they are needed, and pointless to follow when they aren't. People who roll through when they shouldn't are just as bad as people who don't stop or slow down at all and laws do and should exist to punish them. There's no need for enforcement in all cases though. Consideration of context is justice. Brain-dead enforcement regardless of circumstance or outcome is just oppression.
