There still exist cars in 2023. It’s not just SUV’s available on the lot.

You haven't looked at a Ford dealer lately, have you? They literally don't make cars anymore, except for the Mustang (and even then they'd probably rather sell you a "Mustang Mach-E," which is an SUV).

Industry analysts are praising Ford's decision and other automakers are following in its footsteps.
