Sockets cost money.

 
But when you're selling a high-end Dell XPS for $2400.00 (for example)
I'm guessing the few extra dollars for sockets (if they cost that much)
wouldn't make that big of a difference.

I don't remember the scenario and don't think it was 'Unsafe At Any Speed'
but there was something where auto fatalities were caused by the omission
of a $1.50 part because it would have cost too much.

As I expanded in another post it's not only the cost of the socket but the
impact on the entire work flow.
