I've always thought the same thing. Maybe none of the CEOs ever take home groceries in their car. Or haul a motorcycle, bicycle or plates of food over to a potluck. From the outside, seems like two huge factors. One it's because there's so much time crunch pressure on vehicle development. It costs megabucks and they can't just extend the development cycle on a new vehicle for months to allow for "dogfooding" (which may involve hauling literal dog food from the grocery store) Two it's because feedback cycles on vehicles are long enough to be effectively useless. For example, everybody hates the removal of physical controls from car interiors, but it doesn't hurt new car sales (because it's not obvious how crappy the controls are until you've spent some real time in the vehicle) so manufacturers don't really have an effective feedback loop guiding their decisions. So cars often have just the dumbest possible usability failures.
