nothing really to it, actually.
well the primary reason would be due to costs and the fact that a homelink mirror is much more expensive than wiring up a switch that base model owners already have a console for (because of no seat heaters) and personally i have two extra remotes since all the other cars at home have homelink mirrors. just my 2 cents..
