They've all been making bigger cars with 'luxury' features included by default so they can charge more per car for years now. They're focused on finding ever-better margins. Selling tons of cheap cars seem to be a far lower priority than selling a few expensive ones. And researching new designs and EVs in general cuts into profits.

Then they deserve to go under. Supply the market with what it wants and be successful.
