No thanks, this is the same stupid reasoning as “pedestrians should wear hi-vis vests when walking”. It offloads responsibility from car drivers to be responsible, to bicyclists and pedestrians. A decent, separated bicycle infrastructure goes much further in terms of safety than “just wear helmet lmao”.
Helmets are important for environmental accidents, too, like hitting rocks and tree roots. Most of the accidents I’ve had in over three decades of daily cycling have been environmental; and my helmet has saved me from head trauma multiple times. This one’s not about cars.

Sounds like the roads need to be made safer then.
If you’re riding on a bumpy path in the woods, helmets make a lot of sense.
But most roads do not have tree roots or rocks around.
Uneven sidewalks and bad bikers still exist.
