Of course they are a political choice that we can make or not make. And we can have ambulances (or not have them!) with or without car-dependent infrastructure. It turns out that non-car-dependent areas also have ambulances and get people to medical care quickly. And we could get rid of ambulances and even still keep rapid emergency response by having mobile doctors distributed close to people. Plus, ambulances are not dangerous to bicyclists. Come on. The danger is distracted drivers without blaring sirens on top of them.
