Uhhh... no. That's not how that played out. First off, boilers drink fuel like a horse drinks water, they consume way more fuel than ICEs. I know from experience. They would have no reason to kill this off from a profit standpoint.
No, it's more like people didn't want their car to fucking explode. Marine propulsion boilers, at least, have a team of engineers constantly supervising them and standing watch in the engine rooms to make sure that they work. Train boilers also have a team of engineers constantly working with then.
What does a boiler on your car have? You, and only you. You would essentially have to be a boiler tech for this type of car to even be remotely safe as anything other than an occasional drive and, even then, you can't exactly check the boiler or its components *while* you're driving it. If you don't know jack shit about how the innards of an ICE car works, it just breaks. Don't know shit about how a boiler works and neglect maintenance? You, the guy across the street from you, your family, and your neighbors dog die in a boiler explosion whenever it fails to fire after turning it on. Either that or you have a volatile 2 ton ticking bomb in your garage where you somehow have to snuff out the fuel source to the engine to make sure it doesn't... fucking explode.
Losing fire in a boiler and low steam are bad news bears. Ive had it happen before. Don't play with boilers. It's understandable why people didn't want that in their fucking car.
