Example of "Progress/Upgrades" that Just Piss Me OFF!

1992 Jeep Cherokee XJ oil Filler cap (metal) at AutoZone $2.29 (Duralast)
2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ oil filter cap (plastic) at AutoZone $8.39 (Duralast)
2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ oll filler cap (plastic) at AutoZone $14.99 (Dorman)
2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ oil filler cap (plastic) online $11.02 (Dealer list $15.85) (Mopar?)

Are going to tell me something as basic/simple as the oil cap needed a redesign /upgrade/price increase? (The ratchet mechanism in the newer style plastic cap eventually fails and one needs to pry the cap off with a screwdriver--the metal one can't fail except for maybe the gasket)
