Because European do not only test the vehicle crashing by itself, but vehicle crashing into other vehicles (frontal crash and side crash), and vehicle crashing into pedestrians/bikes.

S,3,Y are sedan and would do well on those tests.

But do you think the cybertruck would do worse that other similar sized vehicles?

No. Well, depends on the vehicle, but you cannot import US trucks from the US in Europe, they all have a EU-spec build. One of the change imposed is about edge sharpness (bull bar are removed for EU builds), and I think cybertruck is kinda fucked on that point.
