ELI5 If hydrogen engine powered cars are supposed to be more eco friendly then electric cars why manufacturers so invested in making electric cars instead of hydrogen cars?

Hydrogen distribution infrastructure doesn't exist, so making cars that use a fuel nobody can get is kind of a losing proposition.

Hydrogen gas is completely and utterly bitchmade to work with. The shit is difficult to contain, incredibly reactive with almost everything, and loves to explode. Liquid hydrogen has most of the same problems, and requires incredibly expensive cryogenic storage and transport logistics.
