We're talking about the generation that never learned to really do anything for themselves (gross generalization) and are currently expending all their efforts to build services and apps that do everything that their parents did for them. Would Uber or Magic have been so successful without this generation? No (Yes), absolutely not (I'm sure it would have). This is the generation of "Can't someone else do it?"

Seriously though, cars are expensive, traffic and parking is crazy in many cities, infrastructure is falling apart, and the world is basically ending due to climate change... so are we really surprised that the this generation actually wants to a) be responsible and not contribute to this downward spiral or b) wants to live life to it's fullest and not be tied down to things like cars and houses. If car companies can't see that then they aren't asking them, because that is what many would say.
