It seems your personal preference isn't the prevalent preference of the market, yet.

Most car buyers have a different mindset. Your rationale doesn't resonate with them.

A good amount of them actually enjoy what you described as "garbage". They don't hear "loud" noises, they hear a pleasant sound.

I don't think most people care. However, EVs still tend to mid-range or higher prices, and still don't have much of a used market at reasonable prices. You can judge preferences better when a run of the mill EV can be had in running condition for a reasonable used price (5-10k)

Definitely not most, especially not anyone who has to deal with traffic, exhaust gas etc every day in bigger cities where "most" are.
