"Why do auto makers need 12 different variants of the same part?"
To make getting the parts more difficult and more expensive so you buy an new car instead. They all do it. They don't want their cars to be serviced, just bought and replaced. ICE, Hybrid, EV, all the same. Auto makers want all cars to be disposable in as little time as possible.
