I don't believe this is actually the case. I spent 15 years driving in the US. I'd say 95% of my trips or so were under 6 miles.

First, tThe fact that you believe that 6 miles each way is a short distance only confirms the original point.

And second, you seem to be quite an outlier when it comes to USA commute. The average daily commute in the USA seems to be over 40 miles [1]

Never been to USA but <10km here (CEE) is short distance even for bicycle.
