Manufacturers do a lot of things to save a few cents as you point out.
On one of the small bodied Commodores they removed a sandwich plate out of the rear damper mount to save 50c. They were doing 40k cars per year at the time so I guess it was worth the $20k saved. It's a shame they started flexing & clunking after 6 months
