I don't see this as a bad thing. The biggest gripe I have with car culture is not that there are gas cars on the road, but rather we build copious amounts of infrastructure unsustainably to accommodate them.
If we can remove non-critical car journeys from roads, everyone is better off for it. Taxpayers, governments, environmentalists, and the end consumer who doesn't need to be inconvenienced going shopping all the time, especially when most things can either be carried on a bike, walked with a backpack, or delivered in a reasonably sized van.
As a new parent, I love having things shipped to my house. Waaaaaaay better than the alternative.
Reduce reasons to drive, improve public transit and microtransit options, and cities will benefit greatly.
