#4I wonder if the "cross a red light anytime I want to on a bike" is the reason so many are now doing the same in their cars.
it could be
(1) got used to it on a bike so repeating in car
(2) saw cyclists get away with it so decided might as well do the same
(3) unrelated reason
note: I'm seeing egregious traffic violations by cars every time I drive now which was not true say 10yrs ago. Don't know what changed
as a cyclist I'd love to see Netherlands level of bicycle support in more cities

Your rant has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, as bicycles became popular (and caused the discussed spate of articles blaming/crediting it for a variety of things) in the 1890s, before "car factory owning lobbyists" could cause the evils you attribute to them.

It's not because of bicycles.
