No, the only time there shouldn't be any fall protection would be where personal injury lawyers tend to congregate
My wife and children are not stoopid enough to walk without looking where they are walking.
Now, if there was a design problem that put people at risk through no fault of their own that would be a totally different story.
Suppose there was a water leak that caused ice to build up and someone slipped on the ice and went over, that'd be different.
But when someone is walking and completely focused on something other than where they are walking and they walk off an edge, then they are to blame and no one else.
I suppose they need to put up signs in Yosemite national park now warning visitors not to text while hiking because they might fall off a cliff. Or maybe they need to close all the trails that don't have big study chain-link fenses completely covering the trails.
