(Exp: In the case of ARs, most owners simply don't give much thought to a LW or M4 profile barrel, and don't have a clue about the gas system.)
Remember, it's not about the guns. It's about business. If your production is at max, sales are good, and all the minutiae of manufacturing are ticking along, what's wrong?
Here's another thought: What makes you think manufacturers don't have lengthy lists of alternative products, protos, and concepts they are working with, that may be ready to roll at any moment? You just might be surprised...
