I understand, but that wasn't Chrysler's point of view.
Theirs was "build it as inexpensively as possible".
Understandable when you look at tens or hundreds of thousands, or millions; pennies add up.
Sure and I understand why on 69 ALL Mopars didn't get the 4 bulbs, sockets AND related wires on sidemarkers, opposite to what was made on 68. But let's say were sold 1 Million of 68/70 B bodies with standard cluster and EVERYONE got fender/hood turn signals. By the time 2 sockets and bulbs cost ( not the price ) maybe was, what you said.. 1 cent! ( sure it was even less and maybe the cost for a dozen could be 1 cent! ). So wow! They saved $10K. The sale price of maybe 4 or 5 cars if they were cheap Belvederes. But that's just if ALL got the lighting package, were we know it wasn't LOL. MAYBE just 25% of them got the package? That cuts the money saved up to $2.5K LOL.
But then add the price for the tape! LOL.
Whatever, this in an unusefull reply but wanted to laugh at it in public
