> It's rational to choose your vehicle based on worst-case rather than average-case needs.

I guess it's rational for me to buy a 25' box truck to daily drive since I used to rent them every couple of years for moving apartments.



Moving trucks are in a sweet spot of impractical to own, incredibly cheap per hour, and only a few hours needed at a time.

Passenger vehicles with enough back-seat room for adults, a third passenger row, more cargo room, or 4WD capability are expensive and inconvenient enough to rent + cheap and practical enough to daily-drive that the use case would really have to be pretty rare.
