It doesn't fit the common usage.
Ferrari is for weekend fun, blast up the PCH or some mountain road, with super loud exhaust shriek and razor sharp handling, yes usually just with one mistress. The thing is, the roller coaster ride make people sick, really only the driver enjoys it, usually even the mistress don't want to be in it, let alone the entire family or with 3 friends. Most of the time you see a Ferrari, you only see one guy driving it with no passenger.
On the weekday when you want to carry people or the family, you want a dead silent luxury sedan or SUV, quiet and smooth.
For anyone who want a Ferrari with trunk space, the F12 have planty.

If nobody wanted one it would not exist.
They are in the business to sell cars. I have seen more FFs at Cars and Coffee than I have seen 458s or 599. 
( and I live in AZ where there is no reason for AWD). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The only thing more common I have seen in AZ is the 430 and 360 in AZ. At least you can take the mistress skiing with the FF

At least you can take the mistress skiing with the FFAs oppose to very few new 458s are available, the few that are available required a huge price mark up.
So if the V8 458 ends up to be the same price as a V12 FF, some people choose the FF. Sure used 599 are even cheaper, but some folks don't like used cars.
The FF drive and feels fantastic, it just doesn't look fantastic. For people who want a V12, it still has the driving experience.

The rear takes some getting used to but I think many who love to hate them have never even seen one in person ( not implying that about current company ). God I still remember the negative reactions the 458 got and look at them drool now . Ugly or not it was cool to see Ferrari brake from the traditional and go crazy . In the although I love the 4 seat ferraris but they get no love. Even resale on ferraris with four seats is usually worse .

The 4RM is definitely an unorthodox approach to a Four Wheel Drive System.
However, I do applaud the company for their first foray into this. Indeed, they took a risk going into this (especially since they're supposedly viewed as a 100% Rear-Wheel Drive manufacturer).
However, it looks like it is paying off (with 800 units already sold during its first year).
Personally, I would desire to own an FF.
Heck, I'd take the FF over the 458 Italia anyday.

I only want a FF if I already own a 458...........or ideally is having the V12 in the 458.......oh wait, that is the LaFerrari
The V12 is very sweet, the FF is the cheapest car that come with that V12, I totally understand why some people buy a FF even if they never use that back seat.
