I suppose Volvo SUVs are maybe not at the sharp end of this complaint. They aren't obnoxiously oversized. I realized that when I saw an obnoxiously oversized American urban pick up truck.

XC90 ain't small but ferries 7 people, there are plenty of larger SUVs that carry less inside.

XC90 is one of the less offensive examples for sure. However, it could be lower to the ground and still have the same carrying capacity. People just love that rugged off road look though. Perhaps they haven’t come to terms with the fact that the adventurous stage of their life is over now.
