What do you want to say: it is hopeless to cultivate bicycle usage in the US?

No, absolutely not. In fact there is a growing trend away from single use zoning towards mixed use communities. With ride sharing services, people are finding less need to own a car and there's actually a lot of scrutiny of the poor public transportation situation. Times are changing but it's not going to happen over night.
The OP asked about the stigma of bike riding and I was providing some context to help him understand why the stigma exists. I wasn't trying to advocate for or against anything, just trying to explain the current state of affairs.
Apparently speaking the truth has become a punishable offense around here.
