Because Tesla investors need to be lied to that they have a unique edge over the incumbent manufacturers.
For incumbent manufacturers it is an all or nothing proposition. They have to abandon their ICE lineup. It looks like they are standing still because of that but the rate of change can actually be much faster than at Tesla because once they abandon their ICE lineups there is nothing but EVs left to manufacture and they will manufacture them at exactly the same rate they manufactured ICE vehicles.
