This is going to continue. No one wants a tiny car once you get a taste for driving an suv. The more people who eventually try it the more you’ll see on the road. The more those cars sell the less smaller cars will be made at all.
I’ll never understand people that drive these entirely unnecessary abominations. Energy efficiency should be a major motivating factor in vehicle choice: which generally indicates smaller vehicles for most tasks.
I firmly believe that most local, individual journeys should be made by eScooter these days, and a saloon car is already the best format for mid range family trips (it wasn’t broken - just go electric).
SUVs are mostly a sign of sociopathic tendencies - a manifestation of the drivers need to be feel bigger, heavier, stronger than the next person. To be confident you’ll injure the other party in a crash regardless of who was in the right… because “fuck you I can afford this”.
If you live in the country, fine, the rugged format makes sense. Drive one exclusively in the suburbs to pick your shopping up? The choice says something about the buyers personality IMO, and it’s not favourable.

I am the exception to your rule. Driving an SUV to the shops feels like effort compared to driving a small hatchback.

You wouldn’t catch me dead driving one by choice.
