There haven't been many things in my life that surprised me more than the unexpected truth of this statement.
Except for my youngest son who just about to reach driving age, literally everyone else in my family "gravitated" back to the wrong mirror setting that lets them see the sides of their vehicle. This happens even after several times of me showing them how this isn't helpful, and how other vehicles on the road will "travel" from one side mirror into the rearview (or vice versa) with the correct settings, meaning they can always see it no matter the side mirror blindspots.
On top of that, the 6th gen Camaro had blind spot monitoring and auto mirror tilt down in reverse, so no excuse for not being able to park when backing into a space.
Absolutely dumbfounding, but I agree to James's point that GM wouldn't want to lose out on these customers. It's a perception game, unfortunately.
