I don't know for sure, but I'd hazard retractable bollards are used as a last resort in areas where the unlawful use of bus lanes by motorists has a significant effect on pedestrian safety (i.e in areas of high pedestrian activity), but where camera enforcement is not effective enough.
I also imagine that these bollards are very effective at limiting (but not eradicating) bus lane transgressions by motorists and, most importantly, making the roads generally safer for all users and vulnerable road users in particular, save for a v few imbecilic drivers and their unfortunate passengers.
