Because i am all for healing a severly burned leg i got from staying on that burning plattform until the fires went out.
I will do whatever it costs to prevent cutting it off just because the crutch has begun to works so well.
Doctors would need to convince me the point of no return has passed to do that.

The bike analogie is missing the infrastructure to ride on.
Everyone is driving stabilized motorbikes on incompatible paved highways and i would need to tell my daughter it is only possible to circle in the frontyard without the compatibillity stabilizers and shout out VERY loud to talk with friends.
Heroistic construction workers have slowly paved small bikeways parallel to the existing Highways surrounded by applauding and donation throwing cyclist spectators in hope to reach the supermarket or 1€ store "soon".
Others are keen to ride the sidewalk or even master the rough roadside on a selfbuilt mountainbike.

My sincere question, at which point in time would it have been possible to prevent the loss of felt 98% of the contruction workers who suddenly paved roads into boring toll highways instead of advancing our special Bikeways into something completely different, e.g. Hyperlooptunnels?
