I can see what you are saying. There are a lot of Tundra owners that never haul or tow anything with their truck and just use it as a daily driver. But there are also a lot of owners of other trucks that do the same. Go to titan talk. You'll see the same thing. Go to the hemi dodge ram sites, they talk about the same things. I am sure there are tons of F150 and GM owners that don't use their truck as a truck either.
OTOH, there are many who do use their trucks for work and, actually, NEED a much larger truck than these to do the things they do. My grandparents use their Tundra to haul hay every year for their cattle and haul them to market.
When people pay as much as they do for full-size trucks, they can use them for whatever they want to, whether a grocery hauler or hay hauler. Pickups have become so nice nowadays that you can outfit them with the same options as a luxury car, so why not? Interesting observation, though.
