I'm going to go out on a limb and speak from a position of ignorance (I'm pretty good at that you know)
In any mass produced design, don't you have to take into account the manufacturing process? So if you design something and the folks who will do the actual assembly come up to you and say "Aint gonna happen in this plant with these tools" wouldn't it be a good idea rethink the design?
Designing an elegant solution doesn't amount to much if its going to be a pain in the ass to manufacturer (hence cost more to build).
I worked in manufacturing for 7 years but that was back in the 90's.
