anyone gets along without a pickup truck or a van.

 Good point.
 I'm unimpressed with the genre (I owned a $100 pickup for four years as a winter vehicle and had no complaints, but I didn't love it either).
 Conversely, Ford and GM pickups trade #1 and #2 for most popular vehicle in USA and have led that list for decades so someone besides you sees value in them.

Fashion is weird and powerful. Fashion has people devoting hours to watching game shows on TV, putting high maintenance wooden decks on the back of their houses, buying the same big fancy outdoor grill as their neighbors, buying bikes with more gears than they ever use, bikes with super-narrow tires... oops, no, now it's much wider tires, etc.
Fashion drives the sale of lots of pickup trucks. Not all, admittedly, but it certainly boosts sales.
How do people live without a pickup truck? Well, I built a utility trailer decades ago. I use it maybe once per year. Most people would use one even less, but they still buy pickup trucks, just in case the bags of mulch won't fit in their trunk someday.
