Your disagreement has been noted. I’m not a fan of any personal mode of transportation besides e-bikes/e-scooters, and it pains me to defend the people who convince themselves they need a Ford F-150 - new (or otherwise) unless they actually are going to use it as intended.
I just don’t think Americans can be expected to think rationally and make sustainable choices. There is too much propaganda, and yes, too many people worrying about things like status symbols. Your frustration and perspective is completely valid, despite my disagreement.
I think debt as a concept is irrational and that people are being strongly coerced, in every direction, to make less than ideal choices. Of course they aren’t being forced, but what advertising/etc. does to us is proven in practice and also scientifically.
