No you don’t. They look cool and get you thinking you want them. However if you ever had to live with them instead of just looking you would quickly discover some of those cool looking things make for very annoying compromises and so you wouldn’t want them.
“hi, dealership, I’m looking for a car that looks like an oversized Amazon package and rides like I’m in a trashcan being kicked by a mule. You say you have plenty of jeeps available? Perfect.”
Neighbor got a jeep. I was shocked to learn it gets 15-17 miles per gallon. I get that it is an SUV, but there are SUVs with more utility that get better gas mileage.
I rented a jeep (Cherokee?) for the first time recently. Literally a worse driving experience than my old 2000 Mitsubishi Galant. Which was the worst ever, prior to the jeep.

If people actually wanted that, Jeep wouldn’t keep making it more complicated and awkward to do with each new generation.

At that point just get a normal car and a dedicated UTV for offroading

I also think they’re cool. I also wouldn’t own one because of how incredibly out of place they look.
Chrysler used to do that. Did you ever put your money where your mouth is and buy a P.T. Cruiser, Prowler, or Crossfire?
Hell yeah, I owned a PT for about a year, that car was fun to drive. Never been able to hold the gas pedal to the floor for as long in any other car!
LOL, I see what you did there.
Fiat 500, my friend.

If in was in my 50’s having a raging midlife crisis, I would totally get a prowler
