This is the BIGGEST reason for so much OEM intergration with the OEM HU.
you should probably train your guys by first sitting in the actual car and listening and getting familiar where the first shortcoming is.

yes the speakers are not good but the HU is crappier. it's not the pre-1990's where cars came with fullrange paper cones and whizzers. the speakers have wider bandwidth now.

and the OEMs are manufacturing these headunits at the lowest possible price at manufacturing facilities that make other low/mid grade HU's. the key here for OEM is durability and reliabilty, not quality of actual sound.
