OK, consider your opinion "respected".

However, just what kind of transportation is "free"---there are drivers, vehicles, maintenance and gas that all cost money. Include it in the amenity fee? Why should I pay for someone else's transportation? There are multiple transportation options inside the villages, and I don't see it as a huge? drawback, and I doubt "thousands" of other would either. Besides, where else can an over 75 senior live that includes "free" transportation other than an all inclusive facility, usually an apartment building with a concierge at a pretty high monthly rent.
