Indeed, for them the weight of the bike is a much closer fraction of their total weight, so makes a much bigger differences, which it turns out, isn't that much (unless you're racing of course).
That said, if you are not cycling to push yourself and just enjoy getting out and riding around, then a nice, comfortable steel bike with big tires and heavy wheels would likely be perfect for you.
If you're riding to push yourself, then a heavier bike would require more pushing, no?
