I think that the way to think about this is "available space". It totally makes sense that it is impossible for everyone working or living in Manhattan to own a car and commute there, because several million cars won't physically fit in there. It's the same with other cities - you just can't fit tenthousand cars into a medieval city center. So it makes sense to prioritize other options like public transit, because they have a chance to work.
