Amsterdam has way more separate bike lanes than SF. Also, Amsterdam roads tend to be a lot calmer compared to SF. The street in the screenshot is one lane per direction with a lot of curves. San Francisco roads are often straight and 2 per direction (so higher traffic + speed), which dramatically increases the friction on sharrows, with a culture that's unused to bike traffic, so they are unsure about how to behave. You're right, driving a car does not give you the right to run over cyclists, but the city could put more thought into the bike handling. I've been to Amsterdam a few times, and it's NOTHING like here.
