I'm not 100% convinced by this line of reasoning. All major forms of travel (including walking) can be seen as "supported" by government policies and money. If nothing else, eminent domain plays a huge role in transportation infrastructure.
I don't think we can build infrastructure like this piece at a time to see which one wins. So there is no true "equal footing" or "fair" approach that everyone can agree on.
