To use inline skates as a means of transportation, you have to carry both skates and walking shoes, which is not something you have to do with bikes or skateboards. There is also a lengthy transition time between skating and walking because of the need to take off your skates and put on normal shoes, which is not a thing with bikes or skateboards. Inline skates are just not practical for going to the shop, lol.
Ehm, lock pedal cyclist here. I carry sandals often in backpack to wear in office etc. /s
Eh... not really? If you're cycling and you want to go in the shops you have to stop, get the lock out of your bag (which you had to carry with you) and lock your bike up. Transition time is probably similar between both modes of transport.
You overestimate the time required to chain your bike up and underestimate the time to change out of inline skates and into walking shoes
