Most capacitors don't need to be anywhere near 1 farad to do their job.

Why is the unit so large? Because it's defined as a capacity that produces 1V per stored amp-second. Those are all reasonable units, but it's more capacity than you usually need.

1F capacitors are common enough, marketed at car-audiophools at really silly prices.

Supercapacitors over 1F aren't exactly rare, but they usually have low voltage ratings.
