Because the Leaf has long been closer to a golf cart than a useful electric car. (Though it's getting better.)
The 36,200$ 2018 NISSAN LEAF® SL has a 151 mile range in theory, but you need a significant reserve meaning it's effectively significantly smaller than that. With a 30 mile reserve that's ~121 miles. And needs another $1590 to get a quick charge port and cable.
Tesla has continuously had a backlog of sales IMO because nobody else has gotten a great electric car to market.
Again, the Leaf has been getting much better over time and may work well for many people.
