Back in the 1970s and 1990s, there has been a large Street-Race culture.
There has since been a huge crack-down on this and a lot of the people who would have formerly driven like idiots in suburban streets, and then in empty housing estates and industrial parks have traded in their Commodores and Falcons for Patrols and Landcruisers. Now they tear up State Parks.
Meanwhile, there are a larger proportion of the community who just want to visit The Great Outdoors; some of them want to perform outdoor activity’s; hiking, kayaking, recreational fishing, etc. and they need an off road vehicle to get to the beginning of their adventure. Others just want to experience the ambiance of camping away from other people and they need an off-road vehicle to get there. Some people want to travel to a location just for the sake of travelling.
A soft-reader SUV is not suitable for a lot of these activities. Carrying a tinny, Roof-top-tent, kayak or mountain bike on the roof of a RAV4 or Honda CRV may be physically possible, but it probably is not be a good idea.
You are 100% right about Dirt Bikes though.
