nobody argues for using batteries for everything. But as cars go they can pretty much hit 90+%(1) of use cases.
As for hydrogen the problem is that you can make a battery car go several times as far on the energy required to produce the hydrogen. That means to fuel it you will have to pay several times as much as the electricity equivalent. Or of course you can relatively cheaply make it from fossil natural gas via steam reformation but that generates lots of CO2 and if you were to just make electricity from the N-gas and use it in battery cars you could again run more of those than you could from the hydrogen you generated.
(1) source my ass. just a guesstimate. does not include things like Medium sized Trucks. Its fine not to solve those right now.
