I have no way whatsoever to back it up with evidence

But I suspect an important reason why internal combustion cars are set to be replaced with electric rather than hydrogen-powered ones is purely because a few years ago someone put his (and his backers) money where his mouth is and set out to make an electric car that doesn't suck¹. If Toyota or anyone else had taken a similar "nothing short of World domination is acceptable" approach they could have imposed their own technology instead, whatever that may be: hydrogen, coal, hamster on a wheel, cold fusion, lukewarm fission, ...

As I say, no evidence at all. That's never kept me from speculating before though.
