Why are there so many different types of cars. Wouldn't it be better if we all drove a lada.
It would save on development costs. Most manufacturers are saving cash by creating a platform that they build different cars on. The same structure is used on sedans and SUVs. It's even easier for sports cars you can use the same basic shell and just change the stuff on it.
Imagine building a building on a fixed schema foundation that is already flawed and thinking the things you add to it will make it function better.
That's how modern buildings are essentially made. After the foundation, it's all prefab structures, with stuff slapped on top. Then joined by concrete and rebar. Then comes the wiring, walls, then glass.
