FWD unibody commercial vans are available for sale in the USA. People can buy them if they want. The best selling FWD unibody van is the Ram Promaster. Ram sold 56,410 of them in 2019. Ford sold 153,867 RWD Transit vans in 2019. Both are available - the US market picked RWD instead of FWD.
The same with ambulances. In the USA the vast majority of ambulances are built on a van or truck cut-away chassis. Unibody van based ambulances are available but not very popular because they are too narrow for patient care.
