Never seen the third pedal on an American car/truck?
It's not a "huge space" and the reason is because they're significantly less expensive, more reliable, and easier to adjust and repair.
They put them in cars, too...
I'm not sure what your point was in that statement if not to infer that they don't exist.
My point is the electric parking brakes are not necessary or beneficial in any way. They only serve to make the vehicle more expensive and less reliable.
