Out of order:

4. Most cars move around nearly empty. When there are too many people (often 1 per car), you get stuck in jams. So cars do not scale either. In this regard public transportation arguably scale better.

1. Bicycles, electric scooters or even walking answer 90% of that concern unless your city is designed against its users.

3. When you need to carry lotta stuff then yes, use a car (either yours or rental). Does it justify bringing your whole car when you do not need to carry anything?

5. True, but I am concerned about what that means about your relationship with society. Or the society you live in.

2. You would NOT wait up to 2 hours in any decent public transportation system.

So yes, cars are still the best solution in some cases. No one argues against that. It is just a poor default.
