I agree; for most people anything that manages 200 miles will do for 99.9% of trips.
For me (when going to sport is a real thing again) I do a minimum of 23 trips a year at 210 miles round trip; pretty much all motorway.
The Tesla Model 3 LR (and maybe performance) are the only cars i'd currently consider that would reliably deliver that every time.

Range anxiety is strange. With some exceptions, I suspect that most people will never need it.
It's a bit like the anxiety that drives the SUV/SAV thing -
"It's safer to be high up in traffic so I can see more."
"Well it does rain a lot. What if it floods?"
"We'll use it to get to the outdoors and go hiking"
Purchasing decisions seem to be driven by outlier scenarios. Our reason for not going electric (yet) certainly was.
