In most of the US, Canada and other pathologically car-centric societies, driving isn’t really optional, with no public transit options to speak of. So someone not driving would lead a very dependent and limited life. I don’t know where OP is from, but I guess that’s their case. That’s not the case for most of rest of the urban areas of the world.
You have your parents drive you places or you tag along when they go out? Big difference…you also said you do drive yourself when you want/need. So not the same thing as OP.
Why would it hurt someone’s parents that they don’t drive ? feels like such a strong choice of words.

Disappointment in your life accomplishments and/or annoyance from having to drive their adult child places themselves.
They want space and time alone. For the kid to go out and be social.
And to be independent. If said kid(assuming 18+) doesn’t drive and the parents have to drive them everywhere it’s going to get old quick.
What, I drive with my parents often. It isn’t really problematic, but I do drive myself when I need/want to.
