So neither fish nor fowl.  Raised ride height to compromise handling yet no off-road capabilities beyond a gravel or snowy driveway. 

 

You aren't looking at it from the right angle.

No Ferraris will go rock climbing like people with Jeeps do. Those 'capabilities' are useless to a Ferrari owner. They probably have souped up Defenders or Wranglers for that purpose.

Snow, gravel, muddy grass field this car can handle and that's all that's needed.

You say it's compromised in the handling department, but in this 'compromised' state, it will still out handles 90% of the vehicles out there. Good enough.

In Ferrari the company's and Ferrari's owners eyes, this is an expanded and improved version of the FF/Lusso, that's the selling point, and it nailed it. 

FF/Lusso was the 'practical' Ferrari. Many loved it. This has even more 'practicality'. Perhaps polarizing, but from certain point of view, this is a no brainer purchase. 

 

There is only one acceptable viewpoint?   I’ll wait for this vehicle to become the darling of the Kardashians and Hip Hop set.  That’s all it is good for. 

 

We all can have our own different opinions, sure. But Ferrari knows their own customers best. Ferrari knows what they want. 

Maybe you think the FF/Lusso is a failure cause it didn't sell in great numbers. Or this Purosangue isn't as capable as other 'off-roaders'. But both cars offered what Ferrari clients wanted and satisfy their needs. Remember this, Ferrari make cars for their clients, not for the general public, it's how it always had been.
