I drive a fair-sized pick-up.
Crew cab , long bed and I can keep my truck in my lines/lane. Even pulling a horse trailer or enclosed one.
Think people don't even care at all anymore , or did they ever ?

I'm not getting what you're describing.
In FL, the only legal turn was to turn from the closest lane to the closest lane.
Here in TX, you can turn from the left or right-most lanes (turning left or right) into any lane that it's safe to turn into.
There are also lots of places that have multiple turn lanes (on green only). I often get zombies piloting SUVs that will turn from the far right lane, to the left lane when I'm turning beside them (legally) in the second lane. I love that.
Honestly, I prefer the law in FL, if you're turning right, you turn from the right most lane to the right most lane. If you then want to move to the left, you need to signal and move left. Same, but opposite if you're turning left.
