In almost everything, you have to ask yourself, "who is this for?". It's almost never for you. It's just that sometimes your interests and theirs are aligned. Higher mpg? Better for them because of CAFE, but only as long as it actually shows up on the tests.
Or to put it another way, follow the money. If this thing costs them money, benefits the customer, but doesn't give them any benefit, why would they offer it? Mazda is a business. They would be a poor business if they didn't make this choice.
