When you say "most people walking or cycling miss their commutes", you seem to be including both green areas where when you say "almost no one who drives did", you seem to be only looking at the dark green area. Have to compare apples to apples. (Though in that respect, the commutes likely differed in other aspects also. If I had to walk or ride my old commute of 40 miles, I suspect I wouldn't miss it much either.) Though my commute could be pretty nice when the weather was nice in a convertible or riding a motorcycle. Not that it matters that much. All commuting is pretty much unproductive time unless you get very lucky.

I think electric bikes are likely to help this as, although you might choose to not pedal at all, you could choose to pedal some and still get some benefit from exercise. Strength can be built up in small increments. I used to cycle to school and started out pushing my bike up hills but toward the end, could power up hills in a fairly high gear.
