Atomization is part of it, but mostly car dependency allows them to commodify and exploit every aspect of our lives for profit: Car dependency also forces cities to sprawl out which makes land many times more expensive and forces everyone to take on massive debt for single family homes. The destruction of nature gives people crippling depression which generates billions for big pharma. Massive stroads make our cities too dangerous and stressful to run in or bicycle which forces us to pay for gym memberships. The lack of recreation in nature also forces us to spend money on shitty hobbies we don't actually enjoy. And the destruction of our communities makes us far more susceptible to propaganda
