Lack of awareness? How about having a radio in the car or, worse, (hands free) calling? Or even having excited conversations with three others in the car, that surely gets your attentiveness down way more than music on a bike.

It's not about attentiveness. Car radios, speakerphones and conversations don't block out ambient noise the way ear buds tend to do.

I mean, it's great for sound quality but downright dangerous when paying attention to your environment is critical.

All the more reason a bike rider should be aware of their surroundings.

Someone else being inattentive doesn't dismiss you from your responsibility.
