Not as many choices in the "showy" sizes 17" and up. Not many of them have the ratings for a 3/4 ton truck either.
Plus not many tire manufacturers making LT rated tires in these sizes.
Mostly for those who use their trucks more as cars than trucks.
Picture is of mine. Michelin LTX-AT LT265/75R16 on MT/Alcoa 16x10 alloys.
About as large a tire on a 10 inch wide rim and not needing lift. Did have to cut the corners off of the lower trailing of front wheel well.
