There are plans to change that, ofc. The idea being that with battery density being what it is today, there's no need to electrify every route. The trolley buses could operate off a main trunk, leaving and returning to the electrified portion of a common route while spurring into pickups.
In Lisbon, we have those. the grid is in downtown, the old part. The tourists love them and the pickpockets even more. I know you don't understand Portuguese but watch those old trolleys.
