my own conspiracy theory is that LTNs and 15 min cities, ULEZ, and the rest have been identified as a substantial threat to the business model of vehicle manufacturers and fossil fuel companies, so it's a safe bet that a lot of this confused opposition has been fomented by some PR companies on their payroll.
Good conspiracy theory.
Makes more sense than than what these nutters believe. That LTNs and 15 min cities aim to keep people locked in their postcode zone - though if they can only construe moving around in cars then for them these progressive policies may genuinely be a threat.

i sorta wish that people would be more up front about that though - 'this makes my transport choices less optimal so i'm not supportive' rather than concern trolling about disabilities and pollution or making weird links to the surveillance state (as if you're not infinitely more traceable in a vehicle...)

Of course I have zero evidence for this but for me the more outrageous scenario would be to imagine that the abovenamed companies are relaxed and complacent about policies which are explicitly seeking to reduce car dependency and haven't taken any action to protect their profits.
