Exactly this. Most people who buy pickups (or SUVs for that matter) don’t really
need a pickup. Those who use a pickup for towing and hauling will likely be among the last converts to electric.
What makes more sense for people who use trucks as trucks would be hydrogen fuel cell powered trucks. FCEVs are (in my opinion) the diesel of electrification. Range is less sensitive to load and speed conditions. Thing is, if BEVs have an infrastructure problem, FCEVs say “hold my beer”.
It’ll be a long while before FCEV are viable in the US. Meanwhile, expect battery tech to continue to improve.
