Your theory isn't as good as anyone else's. There's very little that's done haphazardly in the automotive world. A reason must exist for a design decision to be reached. We've heard from engineering experts who say that the design may reduce the cost to manufacture. Your pipe dream theory is not as good as that theory.

It remains to be seen if the design has merit, or will prove to be a disaster. My guess is that it will have some strengths and some weaknesses, just like anything else.
