You know the reasons. It would be redundant to list them when everyone already knows them.

But, it's apples and oranges: there is no group lookin' to 'de-car' folks.

I'm certainly happy that people who do not qualify, or do not comply, with the regulation of cars are de-carred. You don't need to find a "group lookin' to" do something that is routinely done already.
But if you need to have such a group, I'm sure you could find some ecological group advocating the elimination of cars.
Their existence wouldn't justify the elimination of licenses, insurance, or safety standards on cars.
And the existence of groups that want to ban all guns doesn't justify the elimination of gun control laws.
