Let's for a minute forget about why you will find a harmonic balancer on literally every single OEM. Instead, let's just focus on cost.

In calculating the cost to manufacture an item, the number of operations and processes required make up a significant portion.

Why would manufacturers pay for such devices instead of simple pulleys? The NVH argument is BS, BTW.
