Cyclists say removing these bike lanes will put them in danger.

If you've ever driven through American cities, you'll see that a high percentage of drivers aren't really driving. They're using their phone and tangentially feeding occasional input into their vehicles. Automakers keep adding Federally required "safety" features to cars like auto-brake and lane-departure correction, I've heard from some people they use those to make an ersatz "autopilot" and just let the car ping-pong down the road while they use their phones. Others, as soon as they *almost *come to a stop, the phone is already in their hand again and they're paying zero attention to their surroundings, probably thinking they're being a "smart" cell phone driver.

It is rare I see a USian driver actually operating their vehicle as their sole focus these days.

I've personally got in the habit of managing cars behind and in front of me with longer stopping distances and early brake flashing to get their attention off their phones and back on the road so I don't become an SUV sandwich, and also a quick polite horn toot when the drivers in front don't realize the light cycle has been green for 5 seconds because some other driver didn't pull forward, because all of the front drivers are on their phones.

So, they probably feel like they have to defend their idiocy.
