It's an arms race. My older SUV (Lexus 3XX) is worrisome in it's size and blindspots but it's still dwarfed by current trucks. Moreover, once most SUVs were basically built over a pickup chassis but it seems like pickups have gotten so large that it's unusual to see an equivalent SUV.
The equivalent SUVs still exist, e.g. Toyota Tundra -> Sequoia, Ford F-150 -> Expedition, Nissan Titan -> Armada, etc.
