You're still lugging around 1500 to 2000 kg of steel, glass & plastic to move around little more than your butt. You can do something more efficient than that, assuming the infrastructure is rigged up to handle it.

Yup, not ideal. But the available infrastructure is the key point as you said. A lot of places in the US there just isn't an alternative.
