You said it yourself, they're fundamentally suitable for most use cases. Yes, for the near future, there will be many use cases where gas is superior.

Sure. But I think the "near future" to which you're referring is going to be a longer tail than many EV maximalists expect.

I would be shocked if IC-engined vehicles were no longer being produced in 2050.

There will be a tipping point where production and wide distribution of petrol and diesel becomes unsustainably expensive; it really relies on massive volume to work at all.

There are use cases for public transport. There are usecases for trucks and SUVs. EVs currently seem to be limited to a "city car" role, which is a category that's hard to understand.
