Cars aren't built like they were in the old days ladies and gentlemen. Now they are just a collection of tier 2 and 3 supplier sub-assemblies that are assembled in one place. It's simply more economical to the manufacturers to buy their parts from specialty manufacturers. Lear for seats, Valeo for chassis electrical components, Denso for modules, Takata for airbags, etc. etc.
You might be surprised at what other cars share the same parts as yours!

And people use to criticize American Motors for using Chrysler Tranmissions, GM Distributers, and Ford Carburators.
I guess they must have been way ahead of the "learning curve" for their time.
