Is the goal post a few groceries you get for a few days?
I have never seen one of these ridiculous looking bikes in any city or anywhere.
Where do y'all live, a Dr. Suess book?
I will not bike them in the rain, With soggy bags and squishy pain.
I will not bike them up the hill, When every pedal feels like drill.
I will not bike them when it’s hot, With sweat that pours and cheese that rots.

It's ok! They're not for everyone. My contention is just that there exist bicycles perfectly adequate for the weight and volume of your groceries (and mine).

I saw them every day in Chicago. I see them every day in southern Ontario. I saw them whenever I visited Boston or NYC. Where do you live that you don't?

Given that other commenters have addressed basically all of these concerns (waterproof bags, electric assist, insulated bags) it seems more like you just want to be contrarian rather than cite specific problems and discuss if they can be solved.
