If people would be fully rational, then you would be correct. However, they are not (and shouldn't be imho, but that's another discussion).

Basically, it's about the ability or potential of going anywhere. I bought a car that technically has the ability to go off-road. The reality is that I probably never will. But it sure feels good to know that I could. Paid extra for it and all. Completely irrational, but makes me happy.

That's the reason that people worry about range and refueling time. It's not rational, it's just humane. We aspire to do more , see more and go further. Not all of us do, but it's a very human emotion. That's not a bad thing.
