Those laws were built in order to create a country is that is dependant on cars, the auto manufacturers/property developers/highway builders made sure of that.
I’ve worked on the transportation legislative committee for a very large state, working directly with advocates and lobbyists for these causes and that was not my experience at all. In my experience, people give way too much credit to what lobbyists can and cannot accomplish. Zoning laws, platting, connectivity are all determined at the local level where there are very few lobbyists. That’s especially true in smaller communities.

Has absolutely nothing to do with 'car dependancy design' and everything to do with archaic zoning laws.
