I mean, it makes sense to me.
I know there's a lot of hate for pickup trucks, but they are useful. Not useful all the time, unless you use it for work, but that can be said for many things that we own. Obviously, most people don't use trucks for work, so they increasingly want more people-space and less (but not necessarily zero) cargo-space.
Cars and trucks in general are a problem, and the trend of increasing size of certain trucks is a problem, but imo if someone wants an SUV with a spot in the back to carry a Christmas tree or whatever, I don't see anything particularly wrong with that.
I really wish two seat utility vehicle format in the spirit of the El Camino would be a thing again. Basically a station wagon size, but with an open bed. These could easily have bed covers in the same shape as a wagon as well, but removable to allow for taller items and a bed that can be hosed out.
The market shifting all in to four door cabs sucks.
They actually have modern El Caminos in Australia. They're called Utes!
Unfortunately Holden (Chevy) has stopped making them in favor of the Colorado, which is basically just a pickup.
They're called... what?
Oh excuse me your honour, two y o u t h s.
Utes (yoots). Short for utility vehicle, which is mostly anything with a bed.

My Cousin Vinny is one of my favorite movies, I am sad I did not get the reference immediately :(
