Most people choose convenience over efficiency. Just look at how popular automatics are compared to manual transmissions. 1-pedal operation is more simple, but not as efficient, and possibly less safe. I wonder how many people have crashed because they aren't used to using the brake pedal when they need more stopping force than the regen creates?
