As did the original post which sparked off this sub-thread

I was once run off the road by a bus in Oxford. The driver
deliberately pulled closer to the kerb as he pulled alongside
me. He seemed to take offence at me passing him (safely) on
the inside (using a bicycle lane) while he was in a stationary
queue. He made contact with my arm and I came close to coming off.

So in other words you're suggesting that they're deserving of being run
off the road by a bus, as was the OP

And yet you still have to explain exactly how bus drivers can be
expected to single out and idenify non-bus-using pedestrians and
taxi passengers, in order to at least "run them off the road".
And so how are you proposing that they do that?
Because otherwise your suggestion doesn't really make any sense,
does it?
