I'm not talking about big locked ones, just the
silly 3 foot high ones that anyone can open.

Some are that anal.

Probably.

Some keep the dog in.

A few, but 10 times as many gates here as dogs.

They clearly don't stop burglars
as you just hop over it or open it.
They put the gates there to make mental midgets go to usenet asking
stupid questions.

They really annoy people like postmen, opening and closing 1000 of them
a day.

How is that possible when you stated they can just hop over them?

Hopping over 1000 a day is asking for a sprained ankle when you get it
wrong.

Which is it, opening and closing 1000 of them a day or hopping over 1000
a day?

Opening and closing. The hopping was what you do if you're a burglar in a hurry or want to get past it quietly.
