15-minute neighborhoods are not a bad idea as long as it does not have restrictions.
From what I understood it means to have the infrastructure designed so that everything is within 15 mins of your home, work, groceries, school, kindergarten, churches (I hope).
Reducing the need to use your car is good, restricting your car use is stupid.
Also the guy from WEF put a lot of emphasis on "not having a car" rather then not needing a car for day to day activities.
You say that, but even rural areas are still condensed enough to fit the bill without being stuffed the way cities are.
And I just happen to have the best sort of setup where I am. My workplace, a gas station/convenience store, a pub, and a Dollar General; each inhabit one corner of the same intersection. Three blocks from where I live. And the school is literally at the end of my street.

15 minute neighborhoods necessitate high population density. A lot of people simply don’t want to live like that.
