The reason I ask is that I have driven many different vehicles and it has NEVER been a consideration. I just quickly adjust the mirrors and I guess drive in a manner to always be aware of who is next to me, even vans that have no side windows or moving trucks, it just has never been an issue, I just drive accordingly.

It isn't something you usually look for explicitly. It is something you notice taking the test drive.
If you are used to actually being able to see by looking over your shoulders to check blind spots then it immediately jumps out at you that this car has the visibiliy of the driver's compartment in an Abrams tank.
Mayhaps people who don't notice it only really trust their mirrors in other vehicles and don't check blind spots as thoroughly as they could. If they don't do it in other cars then I can see how it doesn't bother someone.
