I’m pretty sure tall drivers with children existed before the advent of sports utility vehicles. Plenty of practical options out there that won’t destroy the planet or pedestrians.

A Ford Galaxy doesn't have quite the same ring to it though.

26 inch wheels existed before 27.5 and we've moved to 29inches since. Things move on. Well, except attitudes and opinions of others, it'd appear.
I'm polluting the world with my M2, which I drive in loops without stopping, for fun. I tend not to drive on the pavement so pedestrian comments I'll look past.
Next I'll be told I should be riding a steel bike because they existed before the advent of other material usage. 🫡

And they had limited options then too.

I feel that it says a great deal about driving behaviour that hardly any cars ever have been able to sit an adult comfortably in the rear. You get some cars with smart tricks - like the mk1 Ka had a steep recline on the bench which brought your knees a lot higher giving you effective leg room. However, that particular trick rules out a huge number of car seats - basically all infant seats at least.
