I suspect it's that they build excellent ICE vehicles, and were quick to go to hybrids but missed the rise of EVs. Everything we're seeing is a rearguard action to protect their ICE business.

Funny enough they produced an electric Rav 4 as far back as 1997! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_RAV4_EV
