The problem is that they are not cost competitive at the time of sales and the type of people who buy those are not exactly the smartest when it comes to total cost of ownership calculation.
Over time an electric version would be much cheaper (a few hundred kilometers depending on electricity price) but it's also not as convenient/capable/performant so it's a not exactly an easy sell to the target customer.
I do agree that they are highly annoying but the reality is that they are still in use because there is no real equivalency in the electric world.
