This of course is based on the assumption that all the motor vehicles in BC are
driven only by the vehicle's registered owner. ICBC must not have the same
level of faith in the system that you do because their website specifies that
the policies they sell include "uninsured/underinsured" coverage so maybe the
above assumption is mistaken?

No that is to protect the locals against the underinsured/uninsured
US tourists (and other out of provence visitors) that have no such
restrictions.
