Well, it's a pick-up truck, it's kind of to be expected that they can carry a lot.
There's still plenty of options for compact cars, and if you want to go even smaller, motorcycles. That said, I don't believe there's many small electric cars. Electric motorcycles and bicycles are definitely a thing though.
It's not that. Older pickups that you see on, say, ranches carry plenty, but are not so huge, especially in terms of height, where a small adult barely comes up to the top of the hood if there's even a little bit of a lift.

Most electric car offerings are small cars. Prior to the current generation of EVs, most manufactures offered "compliance cars" which were EV conversions of whatever the cheapest car the manufacture offered in the USA was.
These were sold almost exclusively in California or NY and were sold at a loss. So like, Fiat 500e, Ford Focus EV, Chevy Spark EV, VW eGolf, etc.
Yes but an older pickup is much more manageable and carries just as much in the bed. For some reason now they are jacking these up, making them wider and longer for no apparent reason. And honestly they haven't added very much to the beds. For that reason, as I'd mostly just need a utility vehicle and not a daily driver, I'd likely rather convert a salvaged 90s Chevy or Ford than buy a F150 lightning, cybertruck, or rivian. Another option would be a side by side (street legal with some modifications) or a Japanese mini truck. The former is available off the shelf with electric power train.
A few use cases I have simply preclude modern pickups. For example, I sometimes need to drive on smaller forest trails which are cut for ATVs. Anything larger than a subcompact SUV can't even navigate these.
