I have never heard or read anyone describe these features in your language, or anything approaching it.

The percentage of the population that likes cycling enough to want to do it even when they don't have to, and prefers your clunky "comfort" features to efficiency, is vanishingly tiny and insignificant.

People in Amsterdam and other European and Asian cities cycle because it's the most efficient means of transportation available to them. That is simply not the case in most if not all of the U.S, and, until it is, the popularity of cycling won't change very much. And clever marketing of your tankish "comfort" "utility" bikes certainly won't do it. Get over it already.
