I don't know, have they fixed the hood latch, the cup holder, the lumbar support adjuster, and all the other crap that blows while the engine and major components just tick over for ever (mixed review).

The nice thing about bikes is that I can't afford a car made to the standard of the better bikes, if indeed there is such a car. Top components on a bike are not really that expensive, they are not all necesarry, but if you think you will really use the bike, and when one considers the fit issues that really don't apply in a car, it's reasonable to buy an expensive one. You can buy a comotion for what the cheapest Harley evo engine cost, well maybe you could get a crate motor for 3000. Folks who live in trailers have those things.

On the practicality side of things it comes down to having either high expectation or fit needs for a custom frame, and wanting to select the components that are most likely to have the highest degree of reliability and performance. We all know that there are some lower order choices that do fine most of the time, but we also know there is better stuff.
