I think part of the problem is that the questions they ask ("Why don't millenials want cars?") come with an unstated context: millenials' parents and grandparents did want cars. The question is not so much why millenials behave as they do; it is why different generations have behaved so differently.

Saying, "Because we're sensible, and our parents were idiots," isn't really a good enough explanation. So the questions keep being asked.
