Considering the current economic sitution I am sure that their decision is based on bottom line. When you no longer have to compensate dealers, that means more money for the manufacterer, thus I doubt that they will make their product more affordable to consumers. I see this as a belt tightening situation in response to issues ranging from workers to supply chain and everything in between. I think we can expect more and more of this across many industries, with that, I also think you will see a decline in customer service. We are entering a era of expect less and pay more for everything.
