I think a lot of people miss the obvious reason: it's cheaper. People seem to think it's some misguided attempt to make things better but really it's just that they've identified a way to cut costs.

They are humorously cheaper.

A friend's kia ev6 parked up, I had an instant flashback to the electric taxi car Johnny Cab from Shwarznegger's Total Recall.

The movie car has this really weak sounding electric motor whirr/whine, just like the EVs.
