The guy is comparing roads with small buildings like burrows and nests. If animals made roads, they would either have to cover all Earth's surface with roads, which is too expensive or to have limited locomotion, while legs make you capable to walk on any surface, even climb trees

I think carapace molting creatures could do it with enough evolution magic. Lobster molts its tail a few times a starts doing underwater offroading on some omniwheel type shit.

cows carve tracks through the bush how would you define a road? entire herds can come and go and they will continue to use the same tracks created by the original cows. dingos, foxes, kangaroos and all sorts will take advantage of the trails. hell we take advantage of them when we are out there. they compact the ground so well we struggle to get our picaxes through the ground and have to offset our equipment around their trails.
