Remember they are very progressive, so you don't necessarily feel it "hit." You've almost certainly been in a car that uses the bumpers normally.

I'm really curious of OEMs do it so they can have firmer rates via the bumpstops but still don't need to use much rebound damping and can keep crappy shocks on the car, among the other reasons speculated above.
