It rarely delivers enough utility to even compensate for it costs.

It's absolutely not, your assertion is outright nonsensical.

Car-centricity is by far the worst way to build a metropolis.

“Car free” is one of several ways to not be “car-centric”, but not the only way. I believe it’s possible to make a car-free metropolis, but I don’t know if any (modern) metropolis demonstrates this.

Sure but I’m not the one which set up this straw man dichotomy and saw no reason to care for or acknowledge it.
