We lose something when we give up horses for cars.

Have too many of us outsourced our ability to raise horses for transport?

Surely you're capable of walking all day without break?

It's a funnily relevant parallel you're making, because designing everything around the car has absolutely been one of the biggest catastrophes of 2nd half of the 20th century. Much like "AI" in the past couple years, the personal automobile is a useful tool but making anything and everything subservient towards its use has had catastrophic consequences.
