I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Should the fact that people like trucks take away from the unaffordability of every other vehicle? I'm sure if you only counted EVs since the rivian and lightning were released you'd see a similar proportion of trucks. Until you can get decent condition EVs under $10k there will be a group of people who are simply priced out of the market.
We can't even get ICEs under 10k these days, it's wildly unthinkable to expect we'd manage it with EVs.
As for everything costing more, this is capitalism, every business out there is trying to extract every dollar they can from consumers. Until and unless a paradigm shift happens (ex: we stop trusting the private sector to solve issues, like housing for instance) we'll keep getting what we've been getting.
I should've clarified I meant used under $10k. There will always be a segment of the population that can't/won't buy new just like on the high end there will always be the types of people who can't keep a new car more than a year or 2.
