Well, this [buying parts from whoever is cheapest] happens anyway. There
are plenty of "after market" parts for just about every vehicle.
I think the real issue with standard parts is the inflexibility it
creates for new ideas. If you could predict what you would be doing for
the next 10 or 20 years, you could have a standard. And that does happen
for some things, like EVSEs. But really hard to pin down for something
like a steering wheel.

If all manufacturers used standard parts, then when my Chevy breaks instead of
going to Chevy, I go to whoever sells the part the cheapest. So Chevy either
loses sales on spare parts, or they have to drop their price, which makes Ford
drop their price, etc. etc.
