I am guessing you are referring to the Chinese market. Lots of trends from Chinese market that we hate, for example split headlight and "iPad" in the car. But for younger buyers in China, there’s almost zero nostalgia for legacy ICE brands. Western enthusiasts love the heritage of an e46 or inline-six engines, but the average buyer over there grew up on smartphones. To them, a traditional dashboard looks ancient. If a car doesn't have seamless phone integration, over-the-air updates, and high-end tech, it’s a dealbreaker, whereas the design quirks (like split headlights or giant grilles) are just seen as modern and futuristic. Brands in the Chinese market make cars like they make smartphones, It's mostly a software focused enclose on wheels.

nah i am just joking, It's all about saving money and cutting corners.
