I think what this is pushing back against is the idea that roads are built for motorists because motorists “pay” for the roads. Entitled people in cars getting pissed at pedestrians and cyclists because they “don’t pay” for “their roads”. As someone who rides their bike most places I’ve experienced this first hand as well as online discourse.
