Poor excuse. Similar challenges and diversity exist in many countries. Also, only a fraction of the population have that use case, that doesn't account for 80% of the market. Mountains and dirt fireroads/doubletracks exist in every countries. You know which car was the most popular for years until the end of its production in Spain by farmers and people living at the very end of dirt roads in spanish mountains? The citroen C15! I let you google for an image. It was so light that even with only front wheel drive it was much more capable off the road than most SUV.
