Simple answer is that they build RVs that way because people buy them, and since their main goal is to make money, they have to compete with other companies that will make them.
I personally feel very similar to you, in large part because we travel a lot versus stay stationary for long periods, we don’t need much space, and if I want more space, I’d rather drive a longer motorhome with a different floorplan arrangement that provides what I want/need versus adding a slide or two. It’s strictly a personal preference because I don’t want to have issues of any kind when I’m out in the middle of nowhere. For me, slides when retracted also create a visual clutter inside motorhome that I can’t ignore as much as I’ve tried.
It’s amusing that designers often push limits until they go too far, like when a few tried placing toilets in slides.
