Thus, while the ability is there to allow adjustments to be made, they aren't setup in a way that works optimally because doing so forces costly bits and pieces to be added in for which the buyer doesn't want to pay.
That argument doesn't hold when, for example, you consider the 80D or 6D/6DII's front function button placement : it's poorly placed for various reasons (chief one of which is that you can't operate it with your right hand, and that entails a lot of problems), Canon completely knows this (otherwise they wouldn't have fixed it on the 5DIII/5DIV), and Canon gains zero cent by poorly locating it (it still requires a flex and the same overall mechanism).
The only reason it's there isn't manufacturing costs, it's artificial product segmentation.
In fact very often it isn't just about product segmentation, but sheer idiocy. The Canon M5, the so-called "expert" mirrorless camera from Canon, has a rubbish auto ISO implementation, in fact even worse than on some Powershots, and there is strictly nothing higher up to protect. There is zero rational behind this.
