Why have dedicated DRL?

I’ve always wondered why cars have DRLs instead of just having headlights always on like motorcycles. It’s a fashion thing by now and a new car would probably be mocked without them, but in the earlier days of the DRL rule, it seems like manufacturers would find it dumb to have dedicated lights. Or did all DRLs start with having the headlights on all the time and I just didn’t notice? My dad’s Prius just uses the headlights for DRL, but they’re dimmer like they’re wired in series in DRL mode… which still seems like extra complication for no reason.
