Do you feel it's expected to buy/give a new teen driver a car on their 16th birthday?

I see parents under so much pressure to buy their kids cars just as soon as they turn 16 and have licenses. They take on a lot of debt and for what- is the kid going to suddenly have places to go they didn’t before? Were you given a car right out of the gate? Did you buy your own? Was it super important to you to show up at school with a car after your 16th birthday? I’m not asking this thinking of the typical spoiled kids who pressure their parents- we all know plenty of those. I’m wondering how much pressure the parents put on themselves to provide.
