Some (appears like a lot actually) people have to compensate some way
No doubt! All those buying anything less than an 8' foot bed (standard length during my entire childhood) are compensating for an inability to drive. They need a shorter wheelbase to be able to park.

And then there are many who are buying a tow vehicle for their family recreational vehicle. No matter how good you are at parking every inch counts when accessing campground sites. 8 footers are not needed to pull a boat. And then others who really do not need a full length bed and are looking forward to enjoying a fine luxury mode of transportation and an occasional trip to the garden store or home center. Now if we want to talk about useless, don't forget the Ranchero and ElCamino. I will always have an 8' box but I understand others for which it is not a requirement.
