You are right, this is a no-brainer! Given that speed limits are 50km/h unless otherwise posted, given that a legal stop is 3 seconds (including when turning on a red), given that cars travel much greater distances in an hour than bikes, and given that most motorists break both of these laws on most roads and at most intersections (not even counting other infractions), I think it's safe to say that even if cyclists blew through every stop sign every time, numerically, motorists are still worse offenders by the letter of the law.

But this actually isn't about numerical law breaking. It is about safety for all citizens whether they use the roads for driving, cycling, walking, shopping, or simply hanging out being citizens in their public space.
