>The people getting extra non-resident traffic on residential streets don't benefit.

Those streets being public roads, they don't have any right to exlusively using them. Furthermore, a public resource should be used efficiently.

It's not just "roads". There are arterial roads, collector roads, and local roads. Everyone is allowed to use them, but everyone is supposed to use them for their actual purpose. The lowest tier of road is only supposed to be used for the first/last mile of a trip. It is not "efficient" use to pretend all roads are arterial.
