It's not ridiculous but it does lead to this conclusion: That there is probably a single optimal "skateboard" type design. Manufacturers are converging on this anyway.

Then the real truth that no one wants to hear, is that there is no need for so many different types of passenger vehicles.

It's astonishing how similar all cars are becoming, outside of the superficial stuff. For a reason. Convergence on the optimal solution.

They are also optimizing for superficial appeal to customer, not 100% functionality.

If that’s actually true there will be one player to rule them all. Tesla essentially been selling same car for a decade.

This is nonsense. That's like saying 'everybody converging on a 4 wheel design'. The details of how the platform is built and integrated is still very different.

Good that we have you to tell us what vehicles people should drive.
