>Why would you buy a car tailored specifically for buying groceries?
For many people moving stuff from shops to their home is their primary use case for an automobile. Why wouldnt they buy a car tailored for that purpose?

If you have a sunken investment, then it makes sense to use your already-depreciated car for grocery... But otherwise, assuming you have access to affordable delivery service, you might as well save yourself the effort and cost, and only use a car for the other needs in your life.
YMMV of course, you could go for a smaller and cheaper to run car, but if you have a family you'd probably need 4 comfortable seats...
Plus Costco doesn't deliver, and that's where many of us do our bulk shopping with large vehicles. (You can order from Costco through Instacart in some areas but it's one of the worst of the delivery services.)
