Let’s be real; Expedition has never been a viable competitor to the GM offerings, and it really has very little (i.e. nothing) to do with the engines. They were late to the party, with a less sexy product. Second mover in the segment.
You having an aversion to a turbo V6 in a truck is really just a personal quirk that you own on your own accord. There is not a rational sales based or evidence based reason for it. The F150 sales numbers would suggest that people have been willing to vote for turbocharged v6 engines “with their wallets” as you say.
Forced induction advancements have revolutionized autos on every level. To irrationally dismiss that is just kind of odd. But like you said, no big deal. You have your right to choose. It’s just that someday, if you wanna buy a new truck, you’re going to have to become estranged from the v8s of the 1990s.
And for the record I would happily buy a V8 if it worked well and, well, THEY ACTUALLY OFFERED IT. Performance is the key for me, not the technical description or engine design, or the exhaust sound, or nostalgia, or whatever. Just pull my damned trailer. That’s what I want.
