Even in Europe as soon as you spend time outside the big cities and that you don't have heavy/bug stuff to move around, the car is pretty much mandatory (except maybe the Netherlands/Belgium?).

I also noticed that the gen z is less interested in having a car, but as far as I can see it's more a shift of attitude about independence and a lot also because it's more expensive now to have a car.

It depends. My favorite destinations on German Baltic coast have enough bus and local train coverage to get in nearly every interesting location. You only need to know the schedule and plan accordingly, and it’s not bad experience traveling like that.
