Except there are tons of people who derive massive benefits from private vehicles that can be driven between arbitrary locations at arbitrary times by single travelers. And for the most part it is single lane roads - no one is building an 8 lane superhighway to a farmhouse. You only see such large infrastructure near hubs where all those smaller roads are coming together. Yeah, maybe the people who live and work within a city don't benefit much from the infrastructure directly, but the people who commute to or from it do.
