Yes but the people who need them tend not to drive Porsche Cayennes.
If you need to work in remote locations with little or no access via metalled roads then you need a 4wd vehicle which encompasses most SUVs.
If you regularly need to tow large trailers then you need an SUV or something similar.
Live on a remote croft in Scotland and need to guarantee your ability to get to town in winter, you need an SUV.
The list could go on for some time. If you live in London the arguements are less convincing but there are people who are lucky enough to live between a remote country property and London (other large conurbations are available). So what should they do by one car for the city and one for the country? Strikes me as being considerably more wasteful.
