I think they haven't caught on because at this point, most people who buy EVs have another gasoline-fueled car, or are pure EV enthusiasts. Plugin hybrids are great for 1 car households whose daily drives are within the battery range, but want easy refueling on long trips. But 1 car households are rare in the US. They are also more expensive than their non-plugin versions (at least they were before the IRA tax credits went into effect).
