But I tell you what if it was 10 inches closer to the side, it would make a big difference for changing it. I mean I am rather heavy and I almost got stuck in their trying to reach the screws. LoL

I don't think it's a repair scheme but rather a matter of fitting what's necessary into the space provided by the designers. If the assembly line can shave off 10 seconds on an install they will do it as the engineers take that 10 seconds and extrapolate that over the number of units produced/year and the cost for those man hours. The numbers can be substantial.
