Because people deserve to be free to stay where they live or move into an area with the choice of how to get around. For this freedom to exist, sprawl can't be allowed to structurally inconvenience every choice besides driving.

This isn't directly personally against you but I am tired of this argument that everyone is entitled to "their own vision of 'good." All it does is facilitate nonsense claims that relativize points-of-view as a tactic for subverting them. Some things are a matter of opinion and others aren't. Empathizing with people who support clearly unsustainable or otherwise detrimental policies and actions only solidifies a foundation for defending the indefensible.
