Quick Question: Subframe connectors- WHY didn't they do this from the factory?

No. Just because something is made in mass, it doesn't dictate that it is made shittly... why do you think today , with their cheap, mass produced cars did the jap cars blow the doors off the american cars late 70s and beyond...and the big three haven't caught up ? And Chrysler, of all companies was bought by fiat .. Fiat ?? ..fix it again tony.. ?

Your argument does not hold water. Why? because your argument was mass produced, and the result was, well, shittly LOL

You have to go back in time and put this in perspective. The US makers were making money. They didn't HAVE to step up quality.

Then came the imports, the 'Japs'. LABOR WAS CHEAP "over there". I can assure you that the first Japanese cars were NOT particularly well designed, nor were they particularly good quality. NOT.

But the Japanese wanted to make money, and they wanted to overcome the bias towards their cars "left over" from some VERY bad feelings off WWII, some of which exist in survivors today. I YOU were a WWII vet who suffered as a POW or other torture, would YOU buy a "Jap" car?

so the Islanders stepped it up. They improved quality. They looked at, copied, and improved on designs all over the world.

You can't just say that these were good quality. They EVOLVED that way.
