Going back on topic would be to address why people don't want what is available, and why.

You have done almost none of that.

No one has said it isn't going to come, literally no one. Why? because it came 10-20 years ago, depending on what metrics you want to use. It's like saying "computers are going to change our lives". Yah, no shit. They already have.

Just like autonomous driving, EV transition will come and it will come soon.
Autonomous driving is a sure thing. "When?" is the question. Tesla has solidified everyone's disbelief and mistrust in the process. Somebody had to be first, and tesla stepped up. Probably best it was Tesla. GM, or Ford, or BMW, or any other legacy auto manufacturer would have cut the cord long ago when they realized how far away it really is to get to level 5. They wouldn't have done all this ridiculous false advertising, beta testing, and hundreds of versions/updates released that still don't hit the mark. Legitimate companies run by a propper board of directors would never have stomached such a process and would have waited till it actually worked before they tried to sell it. They wouldn't have tolerated such abject failure. The legacy manufactures are also working on it, but aren't keen to display their current failure to achieve that goal. They also don't make promises that they can't meet, or sell /products and services that can't be used/delivered, or if they do, they don't double down on it.

Point blank period. 2030. Gigantic swing. Coming up. Yay
Gigantic swing? your definition (+50%) and prediction (7 years) is mathematically impossible. A swing will occur, and it already has. Not unlike predicting cell phones will someday do more than make phone calls.
