Funny that you would take this example since personal cars (as we know them since the Model T) are likely to become restricted to rich people in a few decades...

(Though I doubt horses would come back to replace a significant fraction of them.)

And if that came to happen it only strengthens my argument, as I'm sure car manufacturers aren't asking for that change either.

Life changes and there are a set of people affected negatively by those changes. Those people never ask for those changes. They happen anyway.
