When are people going to realize that Ford is a business trying to make money. Businesses don't make money producing products that don't sell.
When the Focus was first introduced to the US Ford brought in all the models they had in Europe. It seems like Americans preffered 4 doors so they then introduced the ZX5. But sales still favored sedans over hatchbacks.
That combined with the decision to move all Focus production to one location makes a good business case for getting rid of some models.
Maybe you hatchback guys should have tried harder to convince your Honda buddys to buy a Focus instead.
