How fast do you think weight is gained or how long do you think people spend in cars that gaining an excessive amount of weight is a surprise? No arguments about walking being healthier, but for most people, time in the car isn’t that significant.
If, in your whole day, you never walk more than 100 meters at a time (likely, if you go by car everywhere) you may not notice the weight gain for years.
If you live in a place with an elevator or on the ground floor, get your food delivered or get it at a drive-in, do most of your shopping online, go to places with parking lots, where you just walk maybe 20-30 meters before you sit down, you’ll not notice your health is going to shit.
As someone that lives in the world you’re describing and drives everywhere, you’re wrong. Weight doesn’t just all of the sudden exist. Walking 40ft instead of 300ft twice a day is not going to make a noticeable difference. Again walking is healthier, but nobody has ever driven, gotten really fat, and then wondered what happened.

No but walking 1 km from/to the station or going by bike certainly is. As is walking during holidays or whatnot.
Most people who gain weight do realize it by feeling it rather than by looking at the mirror, especially since it is a very slow process. If you feel the struggle walking 300 feet and you don’t have other issues, you’ve probably gained a lot of weight already.
