A significant portion of modern truck owners buy trucks for the image and to make themselves feel powerful, not because they actually require the capabilities of a truck.

That is pretty much the definition of anyone who orders a Cybertruck. The Cybertruck is more likely to become the Hummer of the EV truck world, a useless fashion accessory for people who think a big truck compensates for other shortcomings. In five years, when the Cybertruck is a discontinued memory, the F-150 Lightning is likely to be the most popular EV in the US.

No, not really. If that was the case, they would've cheapened out already and gone unibody, no 4x4, etc.
Sure, a maverick and a ranger were cheaper options, but the maverick is new and the ranger is not that much cheaper, in fact a F150 can be much more cheaper.
