I find this a very odd and non compelling argument
Just now many people have a) private land and b) private land in sufficient quantity and state that you can actually drive a car on it?
I do! I call it my “driveway.”

Farmers who own their farm is the traditional group that would qualify. That population is much smaller than it used to be to my understanding though.
It’s pretty common to have unlicensed off road vehicles, especially in the mountain west. Farmers and ranchers often have at least one of these. There’s plenty of recreational users as well.
