It can’t carry a fridge either, which is often the go-to for people wanting to make the point that because you can’t use it 100% of the time, you should never use it at all. Or something. I never really understood why this observation changes anything.
I’m certainly not saying that, but if you want to make stupid comparisons about bikes being able to go different directions why not throw in all the stupid comparisons. There’s plenty of occasions where a bike is fine, there’s also plenty of occasions where it’s a dumb choice.
Let me explain. 7 different people can use 7 different bikes to go to 7 different places. The car is less efficient because it can only transport its occupants to one location. Yes, the car can carry 7 people, but how many times does that happen? Certainly less often than your “weekly shop” random observation which has nothing to do with anything.
Um… I’ve personally seen multiple instances of bikes carrying refrigerators around cities. I’ve seen couches, tables, massive shopping trips, and even piles of other bikes.
Bikes are workhorses if you add a cargo rack or get a cargo bike style design. Here, we have plenty you can rent for big load days.
People and schools use cargo bikes to move upwards of 6 kids each. They’re workhorses if you bother to actually use one as such.

The Hell it can’t!
(Also, the “carry my weekly shop” bad argument has an entirely different rebuttal.)
