As much as I detest marketing weasels...
Why would marketing types want to spend R&D dollars to develop a different sized base for a light bulb they won't be able to sell for any more than a bulb they already spent the R&D dollars on and will cost them less to produce? Unless the new base is unique enough to actually patent (there's really only a couple types just in varying sizes) the aftermarket companies will just start undercutting you.
The existing bulb will turn a higher profit, and I seriously doubt there's much of a wow factor in tail light bulbs. Lenses, sure.
