Think of the shape of the bed in your GMC, with the lower sidewalls and the internal wheel wells...how in the hell do you expect a Cyberlandr to fold into that?
Cyberlandr may make a camper to fit a more conventional truck bed someday, but the design will need to be drastically different.

This is their first product of this type. It's sort of how Tesla started with just the Roadster and not two, or three, or several models at the same time.

The company is also a successful facial recognition software company, so Cyberlandr isn't the only iron they have in the fire to generate income.
Like Tesla, they had to design the product, then revise and refine it, all with the goal being able to manufacture the product at scale.
I'm not so sure trying to design and prototype two (or more) very different versions of a product at the same time would have been the best idea from a business standpoint, but hey I only own a small manufacturing company, so what do I know?
Remember they were starting from scratch with no factory or staff, so it's not as if they were sitting on their hands this whole time.

I get what you are saying about all of the other more conventional trucks on the road that are potentially sales opportunities, but keep in mind that the founders of this company were only inspired to produce a product like this when the Cybertruck was first introduced.
The design of the Cybertruck made possible the whole concept of the entire camper disappearing into the vault with no disruption of aero dynamics to minimize the impact on range.

Yes, there are more trucks with conventionally shaped beds, but there's also already a zillion companies making a zillion conventional campers to fit into those conventional beds.
Without the unique shape of the Cybertruck vault, the Cyberlandr would just be another pop-up truck camper and there's already a ton of competition in that space.

I put the $100 deposit down for a Cyberlandr way back when knowing that it was a long shot that it would ever happen for so many reasons. I love the concept. I really do hope Lance and his team (who have never done this before) do come out with something very close to what he told us. But, the Cybertrusk has been out for roughly a year now - there is not even a public working model of the Cyberlandr. I knew when I plunked down my whopping $100 that it may never happen. Just like I did with the Cybertrusk - I hope it does happen.
