Less of the $50k trucks and more of the 20-30k trucks please!

Ford has limited capacity. The Ranger and Bronco share a platform, so if there is a hybrid coming to the US eventually, I'd expect it in the Bronco to go up against the 4xe Wrangler which apparently is a hot seller. I'm blown away that almost 40% of Wranglers are the 4xe variant.

Most owners buying the hybrid drivetrain are going to opt for the 150. Being supply constrained I get it.

Ford has a hard enough time keeping up with demand for their vehicles as-is, so I kinda understand their decision. The US is starved for good domestic hybrid trucks, though, and Ford is leaving money on the table here.
