For me, in spite of living in an ex-urban location, there's a Walmart a 10 minute drive away. But I can absolutely see (and know people) for whom picking up a big package of paper towels in Brooklyn is sort of a pain.

Yep, I'm in a city and don't own a car. I walk to the grocery store and bulky items like that are a pain, so I get them from Amazon.
There are many/most of us for whom getting bulky/heavy consumables aren't even on the radar but they certainly are for some.
