I think there's this misconception that the US is basically NYC or dirt-road farmland, and the reality is that there's a lot of in-between. I live <20 minutes from the closest mall by car, yet even transportation or food delivery apps (e.g. uber, uber eats) essentially don't serve my area, so forget public transportation.

Most of the in-between is closer to the dirt-road farmland. Even if you live "in a city," there's a big chance you'll be living a long walk through some car-dependent wasteland to the nearest anything that isn't a house, with near-zero care, effort and/or space given to anyone who's not in a car.

Tis the problem of car centric sprawl no?

It can depend. Sometimes sprawl is car-centric because it's heavily developed with no alternative, but sometimes there'a a lot of undeveloped land in between things.
