I'm with you. I think the biggest problem is that the minivan came out and was objectively better than wagons in a lot of ways. And then the minivan stigma hit, and practicality has been out the window ever since.

A Golf Sportwagen had more cargo room than a Tiguan of the same generation, yet people ate up the Tiguans. An Outback has more cargo room than 90% of SUVs and was as high as a Dodge Ram to get over the "I like sitting higher" argument, and still people would rather grab a lawn mower for pedestrians because "aggressive".
