I really don't understand the uproar against 15-minute cities.

I live in London and within 15 mins from me I have supermarkets, a doctor's office, an overground and an underground station, places to eat, get coffee e.t.c. Obviously, that's a result of how densely populated London is, it can't be the case everywhere, but why wouldn't you want some amenities located within walking distance? Especially if it's a sub-urban town so you're not in nature but instead in a concrete and brick jungle of housing that requires you to drive to do anything?
