I am not convinced. Yes, the regulations are a factor, but ego is also a factor. See also Giraffe Necks.

This is a regional trend in North America, not a global one. Do homo sapiens in Europe or Asia have egos that are somehow fundamentally different?

Europeans still mostly buy mean looking BMWs to stroke their ego, more SUVs than sedans nowadays, but the pickup craze is also gaining some traction. We have the ranger raptor & toyota hilux on the market, although still a bit pricey and impracticle for us europeans imho.
