I see your point. If you need to regularly haul stuff, a van is usually a better choice for the average person but I’m skeptical that construction workers, farmers and small moving companies in Europe don’t use trucks.

Construction workers, farmers etc will use a van or a flatbed version of a van over here:

Or if they need heavier loads, actual flatbed trucks:

Here in the UK, builders & farmers use flatbeds and movers use box trucks - exclusively working vehicles. Pickups are not practical for most jobs.

Totally missed the “pick-up” part of your comment.
