I’ve never claimed perfection. But comparing the city to the whole country is disingenuous at best.

Rotterdam is the polar opposite to Amsterdam in terms of mobility and freedom from car dependency.

That's just work, and still a pretty low percentage. Lots of folk doing grocery shopping, visiting friends, etc. by other means of transportation (cycling primarily). And where cars do intersect with daily life (i.e. not on the highway), they're integrated way more safely into the infrastructure.
