but in the US you have freedom of movement also most of the US is rural and driving is basically a right because if you don't you're a nobody and can't function. Ironically Japan is having an issue right now with lots of rural grandpas aging out of driving competently and having no alternative.

Freedom of movement doesn't mean freedom to operate any kind of machine anywhere you wish however you wish. Denying you a driver's license isn't denying you the ability to go between the states. Sure you can go from CA to NV, go take a bus or the train or fly in a plane or have a friend drive you or bounce over there on a pogo stick or roll in on a unicycle.
