Sometimes an "unorthodox" way might sound easier, and quicker too, but I can guess neither Toyota, a dealer or an independent shop would want to be liable for any unexpected result for a job done in a way different from what is on the book.

Not a great design, but at least it did end up being quite quick and cheap to do by doing it DIY.

Sure, but as I said before, not everybody would be so willing to try the DIY. So it allows the stealerships and independent mechanics to charge whatever they want, for something that might be not the rocket-science described in a manual
