Broadly maybe yes, but much of that infrastructure pays for itself because of the volume that goes through it. That includes processing plants as well as gas stations.
To take gas stations as an example, if 25% die off, that increases the everyday inconvenience of filling up gas, which may push X number of people to buy an EV over an ICE even considering the fuel cost. So then there will be even less volume, and more gas stations will close, so you will have a death spiral. Ironically it may become harder to fill up gas than to charge your EV.
Not saying this is what's going to happen, rather pointing out that the death of oil will be complex and it will be beautiful. :D
