That's truck "enthusiasts" for you, a good proportion of them are elitists. They love to pretend that owning a truck means that one must go off-roading and tow something giant to some outdoorsy spot every weekend. Nevermind that the people who need "work trucks" buy vans a large proportion of the time because securing tools is really important for people who work out of their vehicles.
Suburbanites buying trucks need space for runs to LowKEA Depot and the occasional furniture purchase. Offroading capability is limited to driving in a field/yard. This thing will tow a small trailer/boat without any issues. It's the perfect truck for most buyers, but the F150 is safe because "truck enthusiasts" will never accept this.
In 15 years when fleets of these are cheaply available on the used market, we will probably see a surge of popularity from younger people for them.
