The SUV craze peaked in the late 00s. We've on average been moving to smaller crossovers since. Boxy 90s iterations of midsize SUVs like the 4Runner Cherokee, Durango, Explorer, etc and fullsize pickup based SUVs like the Armada, Suburban, Expedition, etc (regardless of age) have become much rarer than they used to be and the crossovers that displace them tend to be built for sale in other parts of the world with much more stringent passenger safety requirements.

They came onto the scene in the 2010s and were instantly and obviously bad enough that they became a known issue and subject to regulation in short order yet the author doesn't even mention this.
