It is stupid to suggest that cyclists should bike on the road instead of the sidewalk

It depends on state laws, some states does have laws saying the sidewalk is for pedestrians. Some state laws say a bycycle must obay the same laws as a vehicle as it is a vehicle that said I know from experance munich has more bike lanes than all of southern california but riding a bike in California is like chambering a revolver and playing suicide. I will always ride on the sidewalk if theres no bike lane .

Australia changed their laws recently after multiple deaths of cyclists on the road. They now allow them to use the footpath when they don't feel safe.
