There's your freedom.

Well, I have an old MR2. I would love to have an overland trip in the MR2 so that you have a car to enjoy the roads. Ok it not like an all terrain car, although I could lift it.
But I had many times a road which would be awesome to drive in a sports car, not in a 4x4. So I understand what you are saying, although I think it would suck to on a loaded bike.
People say you can only bring your toothbrush in an MR2, but of course it has more space than on a bike, and it is easy to bring a small tent.
Downside of an MR2 as well as a bike is that I can't bring my family :P
