Iām around 195cm. There is plenty of space. I can fit very comfortably into most vehicles (passenger planes excluded).
Outside of leg and elbow room, what can you even do with that extra space when stuck in a traffic jam?

You may leave less room for rear seat, adult passengers if you drive a compact car.
It's still manageable, and fine for occasional trips, but I wouldn't choose that car to drive 4 adults daily.

Is this a typical thing that cars do? I'm not sure if I've seen 4 adults in a car in the last month.

Before the plague forced pervasive WFH, this was every Friday when a bunch of us would pick somewhere for lunch and all pile into the fewest cars needed.

A long time ago I worked in an office like that. I usually biked to commute, so when we had one more person going than cars going to lunch, I just biked to the restaurant as well. Otherwise, I rode in someone's car. Still, none of the drivers did this "daily". Neither this nor sibling comment describe a "daily" situation. If you need a big sedan once a month and big SUV twice a year, just rent at those times and drive something more practical the rest of the year.
You can argue that this is irrational based on handling or fuel economy or whatever. But for better or worse buyers prefer size and comfort.
