I'm having a hard time understanding your comment as a whole, but from a "europe"-centric perspective:

> If it would be possible to walk to get groceries

It is.

> do people choose to drive instead because it's simply easier and faster?

Some. You also have to factor in the cost of gas (quite high) vs distance vs how much you plan to buy and possibly other factors (like discounts,...).

> They then claim that the goal of exercise is simply not worth it any more given driving is faster (and easier)?

I would think the goal is to get groceries, but yeah. People are quite lazy. The possibility of taking a car or a bus is always there.
