Actually, it does ... but its on a different order of magnitude than whats required. Tweaking the dimensions a bit can make it, lets say for the sake of argument, 5% stronger. But to meet increasing regulations, some things need to be say 50% stronger. And for something like the torsional rigidity (for handling), an automaker can improve it by a factor of 10, or even more in some instances.
