That's a ridiculous, simplistic misunderstanding of what is proposed.
In the Netherlands the law leads to a situation where there are clear rules that everyone (traveling by car, bike, or on foot) sticks to. Cyclists have equal importance on the highways as cars. To make this work in practice (ie. for drivers to give-a-fuck) the law recognises the different vulnerability of someone in a car, on a bike, or on foot.
