Not sure that's the right way to analytically frame it. Rather messy chaotic production due to lack of proper management and lousy business practices.

These bikes are abandoned for the same reason they'd be in the Western cities. Municipal public bieks are CRAP, lol. Nobody except yuppie idiots like to ride these bulky, heavy, unstable monstrosities. Get a decent '70s chromo road bike for 50$ off craigslist or some street thug, then use a community bike shop to maintain it, maybe turn it into a fixe, and you'll have a great urban transport for years that costs you a fraction of what a city bike does while being twice as fast.
