How does that address my rain question? Cause i'd rather be dry than virtue signal (YMMV)

Raincoats are much cheaper than cars.

It is just… rain? I’m very confused if I’ll be honest. Your jacket gets wet, or you carry an umbrella so you stay dry? It rains 7-8 months of the year here, I genuinely never thought of it as a reason to drive so might be the wrong person to answer. As long as I’m not drenched (never happens unless i’m out for a rainy run on purpose), who cares the jacket will dry once I get in.

I've heard "some people use their 2 ton car as a rain jacket" and thought it was urbanist hyperbole, but here you are.
Like it’s a no-brainer for me to ever drive while i’m within the city limits of Vancouver, but for hikes and camping, it’s the obvious choice. Same with metro areas of European cities. I won’t even bring Asian cities as example, because it’s cheating.
Chicken and egg problem in terms of investment and public perception though. Inability to build large scale infrastructure also makes it impossible.
