What's with the sudden rise in hate for pick-up trucks?

take the space out of "." and "com", it seems the auto affiliate link to globe and mails screws up the link.
Here is another link to the article, copy and paste. Apparently the above link just takes you to the Globe and mail homepage.
I read 2-3 article in just past 5 days about the hate on pick up trucks. I believe the others were strictly from Toronto. I can't find the links now. I know people usually hate on trucks but suddenly it seems anti-pickup truck articles are getting churned out at a faster pace.
Every vehicle has its use case and so do pick-up trucks. I've heard the same argument from die-hard pick-up truck fans and people who despise pick-up trucks; that "people just use them as mall crawlers and grocery getters, pick up trucks are meant for work or pulling".
I love getting grocery in the pick-up truck and occasionally haul furniture in the bed or whatever that I don't want to put inside the cab.
And this author clearly hates pickups with a passion. If it's the best selling vehicle obviously it offers something other vehicles don't.
The luxuries in the pickup trucks match those of top level SUVs with same or more room in the cab. And with a benefit of having a bed.
People say the trucks are getting larger, but so is almost every other vehicle. Extra safety features require more room and larger crumple zones.
