Engineers design wonderful vehicles.
Auto executives demand vehicles that meet government requiremments for emissions, efficiency and crash safety while having enough cupholders and other doodads to satisfy Consumer Reports. These vehicles must have more power and cargo capacity than competing models while having arbitrarily assigned styling cues and must meet a particular price point while using many components common to other platforms in the manufacturer's lineup.
If engineers were ever allowed to, they would design wonderful vehicles. Until then, they're stuck designing exactly the cars that they are told to.
