Why would they pay for something that is dramatically less expensive? Gee I wonder. Same reason the 86's aren't FI from the factory, same reason they used Prius tires, same reason everyone who wants to track it needs an oil cooler, etc.

To the untrained eye, intuitively, it may seem flimsy when actually its just stiff enough so the fundamental mode is some known margin above the highest input frequency. That way, it's <cough> cheaper to make.
