I’m loathe to advocate for cars but, seeing as you asked - when you’re in a car and you have an accident you don’t get smeared all over the road like a meat crayon because… the much heavier vehicle protects you.
That said, bikes are far superior in terms of safety. Larger wheels, larger wheel base, more stable load configuration, reduced threat to pedestrians in some ways.
And thus began the vehicle “arms” race with people having to buy bigger and heavier vehicles to protect themselves from bigger and heavier vehicles. By 2040 it is estimated that everyone will be driving Mack Trucks and the first non-commercial Caterpillar 797F Dump Trucks will start being sold to the public.
Yes, larger vehicles have become available over time, but smaller vehicles have also become available. There is no progression towards everyone driving larger vehicles, at least not outside of the US.
The family sedans or wagons parked in most driveways and garages haven’t changed significantly in size, but they have become significantly safer and more economical.

There’s no evidence that this is a trend.

I was of course just joking. But since you brought it up there is definitely evidence of a trend. Cheers!
