Having done both, I agree that they're more a substitute for busses. Perhaps trains.

I'm not sure why you think cars are more equivalent to planes, especially when they hold fewer passengers.

Because in general, at least in the US, the choice for most routes that people take is to fly or take their car. Taking a long distance bus isn’t on the table for most moderately well off people and train usually isn’t a reasonable option.
