Again, the problem is that these projects are rarely JUST road diets. I realize you want to parse out road diets but when the total project contains more than just a road diet, that is not possible. If you have an issues with that, blame the jurisdictions and staff that feel the need to add in costly extras to these projects while providing limited safety improvements for local, neighborhood roads. In most jurisdictions, the types of traffic calming a city is willing to fund as part of more robust "complete streets" budgets v. a more limited "traffic calming" budget speaks volumes about the the amount of money these projects can cost.
I do not see any tendency to put in hawk lights or costly bulb outs on every "arterial" - perhaps things are different where you live. And I see lots of money going to traffic calming on side streets.
This may be too abstract a discussion, since the jurisdictions are not all the same - but then I would rather not have a debate about any particular local project here on (anon troll dominated) DCUM, either.
