Your logic would imply that bicycle riders would have the same thing happen (in the Netherlands). I didn’t see that when I was there, but I don’t live there. But I guarantee it’s not because car drivers “are fully accommodated with” whatever. It’s because there’s no communication between cars. Everyone is in their own box. That’s not the same with bikes or motorcycles or mopeds etc.
I'd say you see the same thing with bikes, especially in the big cities. They cycle everywhere and go through red lights all the time. However, a bike is a lot less dangerous than a car (unless it's an electric bike that can go very fast), which makes it slightly less of an issue in my eyes.
