We are not even going to get dense cities like Night City. Imagine how much worse the cyberpunk dystopia is going to be with a 2.5 hour commute each way from the suburbs along a mega highway.

Do NYC, Seattle, SF, London, Tokyo, and all of the other dense cities not exist anymore?

None of those are even close to the density of Night City. Tokyo has a density of 6,363 persons/km^2, compared to Night City's density of 65,000 people/km^2.

Also those are 'old' cities. They have historical reasons for increasing density. Night City is a city founded and built by mega corps, represents the 'new' world that the mega corps want to build. My point is that in our world, the type of cities that are being built and our mega corps want, are all suburban spawl.
