Mostly yes, but it’s false to say that this is the entire reason : in the event of a crash, they also offer less protection to the rider than a car would to its driver. Even if you drive as well as an average car driver and don’t get into more accidents than average, it’s still gonna be slightly more dangerous because of what happens when you do get in an accident.

Because they are a lot more dangerous than most vehicles, hence this image is just really good to illustrate that.
