Not as many people in the world as you think. By definition of remote parts of the world, very small amount of people actually live there.
I lived in a remote part of the world in the village of barely 50 people. We had a small bus coming through it twice a day, and if you needed to go to the town, you just went there in the morning and returned in the evening in the bus. Some people had cars they were using once every couple of weeks, but most people didn’t. Bikes and walking was the most used form of transportation. Most of the people there were there for the sole reason of being far away and not needing to rush to the nearest city often, that’s kind of the whole thing.
The shit you’re describing is mainly uniquely American problem, people living in bumfuck nowhere but commuting to town using their gasguzzler, not only it’s not universal, it’s actually very not normal.
My perspective is coming from Denmark. Around most of the country, a car is essential. Most of the country is farmland. People live on this farmland, and without a car, getting to work, buying groceries, getting to the doctor, is simply not feasible.
I don’t own a car, because I live in a city, but I grew up somewhere, where you can’t live without a car.
So why do people live out there? Because they’re farmers, construction workers and everything else an area with a lot of agriculture needs.
