I'm sure it may involve some lobbying. Regardless of being a fully-built unit or a glider kit, a big rig has some value added, plus it became quite "cultural" when most truckmakers still outsourced much of their drivetrain components instead of making their own engines. So, there were savings for truckmakers too.
