I can run a nice, wooded trail, or I can suck on exhaust fumes on an ugly road next to dangerous drivers.

Just walk halfway to the gym and then give up and walk home.
if it's 0° outside (or 90°+), then yea, i'll drive to the treadmill. otherwise there's no benefit a treadmill offers over walking/hiking/running outside. plus there's no downhill option on the treadmill, which exercises a different combination of muscles
It's 114 degrees today. I'm not walking anywhere
Walk in a climate controlled environment or out in the heat/cold? Hmm...
There's got to be some psychological hack to this for some people, and I envy them. Imagine getting satisfaction from having gone to the gym just to walk... Gym is already a lazy form of workout even if you exert yourself.
Then again, the only people I see walking on treadmills are fairly in-shape young women, so it's hardly an issue
Former 5 time a week gym member here.
Treadmill at the gym has HVAC, no cars that blow red lights and almost kill you. You can have a conversation with someone while you are on treadmill or you can safely put on headphones and rock out. You can run yourself ragged, and all the water and benches you want are just a few feet away instead of being another exausting run back to your house. The gym is usually secured with a key or fob. There are other runners there who have great knowledge about shoes, technique/form, workout routines...etc etc.
Lots of reasons why you would drive to the gym and run, instead of just running to the gym.
