So you buy a new one when it rusts out. Nearly all business don’t build the absolute best product, because the return is not worth the cost of making it better. Business are about making money and not necessarily about making the best product for the consumer or the environment. Additionally there are many places that do not use road salt and the vehicles last decades with very minimal rust.
