IMO, the original Taurus was an exception, pretty ballsy move at the time. Even the next iteration of the big Audi followed them, then others.
It was very successful. Think it was actually the best selling car in the US for a couple years - beating out the Accord.
But in general, you are absolutely (and sadly) right.
