They, and also this meme, make the mistake of equating fewer cars with no cars.
Cars can and do access pedestrians places, but when doing so reduce speed to a crawl. They can and do do this in order to pick up or drop off large objects, or when transporting the disabled.
The same way pedestrians can use roads, cars can access pedestrians places as long as they are built wide enough, when needed.
No part of building primarily for pedestrians use requires that cars never be used, it simply means you build based on the fact that the vast majority of the time, they aren’t needed. And that as such, they should be a secondary, not the primary, consideration.
