It's simply cost versus revenue for a high volume product which doesn't command a luxury premium like most Euro cars.
If you save $1 a car for a car that sells 200,000 units, that's $200,000! And if you can't charge to cover that $1, then it's probably best not to do it, (from a pure financial perspective). Of course, there is a lot of value that can't be put down on paper which would make a car company consider adding the feature.
