Yes? If you’re an auto factory, you might care, but an auto maker cares about minimizing cost and maximizing revenue within the regulatory constraints. Nowhere is there a requirement to care about how the car is built, there are requirements on what the car can and cannot do.

Caring about the requirements on what the car can and cannot do sounds suspiciously like caring about how it's built when you consider how it's built directly impacts what it can and cannot do.
