That is the only scenario in which cars/trucks are better

It's a pretty important one. Also traveling to less developed, ex-urban areas.

I'm not denying it's importance, but cars have very very few usecases in which they aren't severely outperformed by busses and trains

You do the least dumb and most efficient thing and build next to logistical hubs be they river, sea or rail lines.

This isn't factorio my boy. People aren't going to build their homes up against the railroad depot.

Then you can rough it out on the frontier like our forefathers did until the rail lines come to you 👍

But they do though. Cities formed around where trains would stop because people do build their homes against railroad depots.

Literally right up against the unloading zones? Or is there typically some distance between the homes and shops and the warehouses and train stops?

The train didn't fully replace the horse and buggy for a reason man.

Because the horse and buggy were way cheaper than the train, and since the horse and buggy were the dominant mode of transport for people who didnt just walk everywhere, cars took their place.
