the public seems to really not care about buying coupes, and if they can shine up their forgettable suv with a name that is iconic, they'll buy. Companies would be pretty stupid to not do it. Even though it's wrong. Manufacturers aren't controlled by enthusiasts, they're controlled by investors.

Correct.
In 2021 in the U.S. Ford sold 52,414 Mustangs and 27,140 Mustang-Es.
In 2021 through July, the figures are 29,611 and 22,645 respectively. The EV outsold the ICE version for the 3 months ending July 12,106 to 11.248 cars.
Despite all the phony EV outrage from the usual suspects and vested interests, consumers collectively are who car companies pay attention to, not the loudest voice.
