I would say the dynamic is skewed in the US because so few motorists are cyclists. Just perspective.

There is no natural origin to be skewed from. It's relative. both statements are equally correct, and leave out the relative context.

The natural origin should be walking (except for motorways, some tunnels, etc., and I guess in most cases also outside city/village limits). But I read that in US suburbs, many streets are not even suitable for that, which boggles my mind.

The natural origin is a pedestrian, which is much, much more common in the Netherlands than most of the USA.

You are right, I was searching for words and couldn't find the right one.
