Well, not too much, but they are getting huge and the vast majority of time there's only one person in them. People tend to buy them as "worst case" scenario fillers. Plus, they get terrible gas mileage, they have terrible brakes for as massive as they are (my truck, from which the Cherokee is based, has terrible brakes considering it weighs about the same as my 9-3 and can supposedly haul a hell of lot more). And, the concern with rollovers isn't someone being idiotic; instead, it's someone performing an accident avoidance manuever and ending up rolling over. Whenever I drive my truck, I drive much slower than in my 9-3, I leave extra stopping distance, and I try not to perform any fast turns.
