    Here’s my perspective, but it might be pretty wrong:

    I think the reason for the low demand is due in large part to the pre-existing gas industry, at least in the US. Not just because of marketing advertising gas-powered more, but also because people don’t like to change, and buying a new car is not cheap. Not to mention that the US infrastructure is so heavily solidified in gas. It’s just easier to continue buying gas-powered because it’s already so supported across the country. Then the industry benefits from this because they can say, “oh, huh, looks like people still want gas-powered! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” and so the cycle repeats.

    I think a lot of people don’t really understand how much power corporations really have over what the people do or don’t do, like or don’t like, etc… 99% of the time people will take the easy option, and corps take advantage of that by making the easy option the cheapest and best for themselves instead of what’s best for the people. Corporations only do what’s right for them, and are masters of making it out to be that that’s what the people want.

    I still remember, back when Diablo 3 was doing a public technical test or something, a friend of mine and I were very excited to get in and give it a try. We took a look at the heroes, and I decided on male Monk while he selected female Barb. I named mine something random, I don’t remember what, but my friend thought for only a moment before naming her “Snoo-snoo”.

    Later that day, we went to the D3 subreddit to see what people thought, and there was a post titled “The 10 commandments of Diablo 3” and one of them was “Thou shalt not name thy female barbarian " Snoo-snoo”. We had a good laugh.
