I think that's a bit too much, it's reasonable to expect that cars will stay on the road. It's the interfaces that are dangerous.

In a lot of cities, sidewalks aren't available along common pedestrian routes. And sometimes, when they are, are too narrow.

Not listening to music or a podcast seems a reasonable sacrifice to make, in exchange for being within a few feet of multi-ton vehicles at 30+ mph relative velocity.

I agree that when walking on a shared road one must be on maximum alert.
