A lot of them just use them for driving to places that they could do in a car. How many truck you see driving which are completely empty? Or how many you see who are transporting stuff that could easily have been done in a van?

That's complete bs, see my comment above. Pickups are much more flexible than vans.

The problem is the insurance model which insure the vehicle rather than the driver. Thus why some people daily drive their pickup because maintaining another beater is too much cost.
