Well, for one thing, a car is a luxury in most of the world. Ask how people feel about riding on busses. Sometimes the answer is that they can’t for some reason, but usually it’s just that they prefer a private vehicle and no timetables.
For another, a good potion of the population isn’t actually struggling, and has Amazon or Temu stopping by to deliver dumb stuff from China all the time. Like, that entire sector, along with meal delivery, is all about spending surplus income. I’m not talking about the bottom quarter here.

In the US, a car is a necessity not a luxury. Public transportation barely exists in some cities. Bike/scooter transportation is a death sentence.
Speaking as someone who’s living car free and has been hit 6 times in the past 4 years, ask me how I know.
Yeah, Canada is the same.
