It's always money, but tires wear out so manufacturers don't need to do anything to help sell replacements for the majority of their customers.
This feels like a risk for what is likely the small fraction of customers that don't drive enough to wear them out in 5 or 6 years. It may well be a reluctance to spend what it takes to keep them from degrading but my guess is only because 90% of the market wears them out before they fall apart. That would be an interesting bunch of statistics by itself.
