depending on how bad the fogging is they can be polished. Cheap bulbs help fogging in the long run, so it is IMO better to spend the extra on the good low UV Bulbs

Most speedos are bult to a tolerance and for a difference of 4 mph any re-calibration isn't worthwhile.

Possibly it is down to money, as manufacturers are building a vehicle they will often get discounts to recommend certain brands.
