The more it serves us, the more indulgent, flaccid and incapable we will become. When our butler invitably degrades, we will have forgotten how to serve ourselves. At least with bicycles we were still pedalling.
Why should it? Any more than, say, the global economic system providing us with gasoline at the gas station, which we rely on?
BTW, animals do make tool. Even some insects (ChatGPT told me last night :)).
A motorcycle depends on, and thus is useless without, an external source of fuel.
