They're all copying Tesla. And ironically, only Tesla had a rational reason for their decision -- cost cutting. Not that I think the result is a net positive for the rest of us, it was ideal for Tesla. But just like the rest of their cost cutting choices they successfully spun it as a positive, and now other manufacturers are racing to copy them for all the wrong reasons. Though I suspect those manufacturers do secretly know the real reason and hope to benefit from it.
