You have not responded to my rebuttal to what you said, you're just bringing up a different argument.
Sure, I don't actually know what your argument is to rebut? I know many people who would like to buy a ford ranger sized truck, but manufacturers discontinued them a decade ago because fuel efficiency regulations disincentivized them.
You can always find a subpopulation where some effect is large; that can't be good reason to make rules that constrain the entire population.
