Why did people stop driving these tiny cool cars and said „Fuck it! We want our cars unnecessarily big as possible“ and started driving SUVs and crossovers. Where did we go wrong?

im pretty sure i got it from this video (don't have time double check rn), but mostly due to the difference in fuel efficiency regulation between cars and "light trucks". since auto makers could keep larger vehicles less fuel efficient, they advertised them more, which lead to greater adoption by the public.
