It because they're bracing themselves with the steering wheel when doing a very exaggerated shoulder check.
My driver training course explicitly brought this up, but presumably not everyone took driver training.

But I don't think that's what they're talking about, I think they mean that little cars who give an enormous berth between their car and obstacles, so they end up taking up as much of the road as a large car would

You are correct that's what I mean. Little cars passing parked cars, rubbish on the road, or bicyclists in the bike lane going half way, or more, into the oncoming lane to avoid it.

It only takes one bike to wobble as you pass or one baby cart coming unexpectedly out behind the obstacle to imprint the need to give wide clearance
