I agree with you, but there's a reason Lexus dominates the luxury SUV market, and it's because they've found what appeals to the masses. I'm willing to bet majority of that clientele barely knows how to use a standard cruise control, let alone a semi-autonomous system that you find in a BMW or Mercedes. All they care about is comfort, reliability, and price. And if something has worked so well for Lexus for so many years, they're simply doing what any manufacturer would do.... not mess with success and continue milking the cash cow.
