Yes, massive front ends is a terrible design choice but that isn't one of the design features they are talking about.

Clearance, cab shape, large wheel wells, flat sides on the bed to make it accessible or for adding racks, bumpers you can step on to climb up, and other functional features are what they are talking about. A large number of trucks have had sloping front hoods and still included all of the truck featured that matter for doing truck things and which the cybertruck failed to include.
