We aren't talking about feature such as an oil cooler where, yes possibly only 1-2% of buyers will ever need, we're talking about features that benefit all users on a day to day usage, that I would assume cost very little R&D to implement (in the grand scheme of things).

Holes cause drag, drag causes poorer emissions. I'm not sure how the USA is but Euro 6 regs are getting stricter year on year. It is possible that by having the vents open would have a negative impact on where they can sell the car and having massively different specs for different markets doesn't make any sense for a low volume car. So it does make perfect sense that if a tiny proportion of the market will make those changes, allow them to do it without having negative knock-ons for the majority that don't.
