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?
