There are smaller trucks that many tradesmen have been using without much issue

There's also much longer vehicles that suit different purposes that people use without issue. We have no idea what their day-to-day work is and this might be the best possible option for them.

The small dick kill the environment type trucks usually don't focus on long truck beds.

And those longer vehicles aren't really made to run errands or fit in regular parking lots.

They aren’t, but not everyone can afford two vehicles. I can imagine a person getting an extended cab truck for both errands/family and work. And if this is the case, what are they supposed to do?

Vehicles are expensive.

The picture in this case even says this truck is at Ikea. Is a furniture store where you might be loading lots of big shit really not a use case where bringing a long bed truck makes sense?

Are those tradesmen hauling heavy equipment like the above commenter mentioned? A small van works great for a plumber, not so much for an excavation company. Although i doubt this guy is about to dig up the ikea parking lot.
