The difference is that we all come into contact with and have to deal with cars on some level whereas in case of a niche hobby people may not even know it exists. Cars are such a central part of modern life that it feels weird that some people seem to have occult insight into it that others lack. It's both a niche hobby and not niche at all at the same time, in a way.
I think that depends a lot on where you live. The vast majority of my colleagues and friends don't have cars, but we live in large UK cities, so life is easily doable without a car. Even a friend who used to have a car ended up selling it, bc he just didn't use it enough to justify the costs.
I don't have a car either, not even a license. There are still cars all around me and most likely you as well.
