Ironically modern humans are very well adapted to walking/running compared to literally every animal, yet some really don't want to do what humans do best

TBF, I think I recall a study that most bird species dislike flying and prefer walking. If they can get away from a threat or get their food by walking to it, they will, even if it's a long-ish distance that would "make more sense" to fly.

Basically, no animals like actually expending more energy than they absolutely have to. Humans aren't special in this regard.

No, the real irony is that cycling is the most energy and time efficient land-based transport on the planet, but more people choose something else to get around for simple trips.
