I have that complaint about the entire industry. Why does there need to be so many parts? A company needs like 2 steering wheels, because it needs to be about the same size and shape as all steering wheels. There should be 10 standard brake pads (or something), because all brakes operate on the same principles and one could simply upsize the the precisely perfect set did not exist within those 10 sizes. There should be 10 sizes of air filters and oil filters, etc.

The whole industry is dumb.
