You are correct that it’s not for everybody. I imagine if the market decides the need for it an EV truck may be available down the road.

They have already demonstrated trucks that are run by an electric motor, although the electricity is generated by a fuel cell. The one big problem with fuel cells is that you need to find catalysts that are more common and less expensive. But otherwise, a fuel cell is an interesting concept that allows for chemical storage of electricity and emits water vapor. It is also more efficient at converting chemical to electric than combustion is.
