Sure, if one likes to enjoy cold, snow and arrive wet at work during Winter, or sharing body odors during Summertime, also assuming healthy enough to stay on a bicycles or trikes.

And yes I know plenty of people do endure weather conditions for their two wheel drive, most never will unless forced to do so.

There are enclosed pedal assist vehicles out there that can keep you dry. A bit harder to park than regular bikes but that's not a hard problem to solve, just convert some car parking spots into something smaller.

At that point it is no better than using a car.

I live in Umeå, Sweden. Most people here bike.

I’m not entirely sure what your point is.

Between the age of 10 and 18 years old, biking was the only way to get anywhere, there were hardly any buses available, didn't had parents to drive me around at the pleasure of my wishes, and no money for taxi.

I know pretty well what it means to cycle everywhere, regardless of weather conditions or not having a place to exchange clothes.
