I rode a bike for decades before I ever owned a car, and until recently bike road tires were all designed to run at like 80psi and safely accept up to 100 (These days I run gravel tires at about 55). It took me a while to accept the fact that my car only wants 34.
The fact is that pressure is force per unit of surface. So your car tires are holding in a lot more force than your bike tires, even though the pressure is lower.
