Because batteries are heavy. Or do you mean you want sedans to stay fossil-fuel powered forever?

Did that have a back seat big enough for adults to sit in? If not, then there's your reason.

why not? At least until bateries are good enough. Heavy EVs are not exactly more environmentally friendly than ICEs, they just make different trade-offs.

Instead of thinking of the dangers of an ICE sedan, and showing an abomination called an EV sedan, just have a simple EV city car, or invest in actually humane mass transit, propper city planning, etc. If you use just your ICE sedan for longer trips, that's decent enough.

EV replacement for our current type of car types are just an hacky way that doesn't really help, just changes the problems.

Maybe F-150's should be considered impractical family vehicles instead of trying to shoehorn them into a do-everything-everywhere-all-the-time kind of vehicle?

Only the new ones fail at being pickups because their beds are short they can't fit much and so high off the ground you'll blow your shoulder out trying to load it with anything but groceries.

Yes, my dad drove exactly that truck and we did several roadtrips with 5 adults, 5 bikes, and our luggage in back.
