I have an oven that's about four feet wide that I hardly ever use for anything larger than a 12 inch cake.
And I have more than one bathroom even though it's really rare that more than one person has to use the bathroom at the same time.
I have a mountain bike that I only occasionally take up a mountain.
My car can brake in a ridiculously short distance, even though I've only used that feature to save my life once.
I wear a seatbelt all the time, even though I've never been in an accident where it would have made a difference.
Edge cases matter. A lot. The Smart car covers the "every possible travel condition that a college student can think of" case very well, but it's not versatile enough for most people.
Edge cases can also be served by rentals though. If you could rent an oven or a bathroom as easily as you could rent a car, your home may be designed differently.
