By comparison, Ford’s crosstown rival – General Motors – trailed in second place with 19,490 cumulative deliveries for a 29 percent segment share.

The full-size mainstream van segment, which includes passenger, cargo, and cutaway/chassis cab models, contracted nearly ten percent to 65,405 units in Q2 2022, meaning that Ford E-Series sales underperformed the segment average.
Ford E-Series sales continued to be in the red during the second quarter of 2022. Though some of the competitors within the segment have faced similar scenarios as a result of production constraints and subpar availability, some have managed to showcase an increase in sales as their automakers allocate materials for production.
It is also worth noting that comparing E-Series sales to any of the competing models is far from an apples-to-apples comparison, since the E-Series is available exclusively in the cutaway configuration, while all other models are available as full-bodied cargo and passenger vans and, in most cases, as cutaways.
Meanwhile, the fact that Ford continues to be responsible for almost half of the large van/cutaway segment is very impressive, and we don’t think this dominant position change any time soon. The Blue Oval has been steadily improving the E-Series over time, giving it the new Ford 7.3L Godzilla V8 gasoline engine for the 2021 model year.
A rather clean example of that type of vehicle.

There are two potentially obvious choices.
One of the nicest examples we've seen in some time.
Making it easy to communicate with people outside of the vehicle.
The technology is expected to arrive in the next two years or so.
Something we'll probably see more of soon.

I don't get the point of this article. You even note, it's far from a fair comparison. Next you'll say the Ford GT is "far underperforming" against the Corvette, lol.
I bet that compared to cutaway/stripped chassis versions of those vans (where applicable), it performs extremely well and probably leads that sub-segment.
Until then, file this under the heading of "duh".
