This is a real thing, absolutely, but mostly it's a problem because

a) the bike lanes/street design make it still dangerous to bike there ("door zone" bike lanes are particularly notorious for this), and

b) usually the overall bike lane network is heavily fragmented, with bike lanes suddenly ending and starting with no apparent rhyme or reason. "It's safe to bike for a good 50% of this trip" doesn't exactly fill people with confidence.

It is difficult to state just how bad bike infrastructure is in the US; really, it's quite bad in almost all countries.
