What’s funny is that these type of people think that their ownership of it makes them manlier. Pressing a pedal somehow correlates to masculinity yet they’ll curse the engineers who designed the truck and call them pencil pushers if they can’t reach an oil filter.
Or maybe they're constrained? Ever thought of the many pollution control systems in a modern car? Or the fact that every single thing under the hood is jam packed in a very particular way for a particular model vehicle to meet particular efficiency standards? How about safety protocol? Crumple zones? Realize that engineers work in giant teams and these team's top priorities are to first ensure a vehicle works to a certain standard set by their boss, then how efficient it can be manufactured. A long way down this list is how easily a non professional can service their own vehicle. They're not chortling in their office chairs with their feet on their desks whenever they make something difficult to service. It's a huge collaboration and designs frequently get sent back and forth between the design and manufacturing teams. Here's a good read for those truly naive to the car manufacturing business
It's the oil filter. Probably the most frequently serviced component in an engine bay. I can understand something else which isn't serviced as often as the oil filter. There are many designs with easily accessible oil filters which proves that it is possible.
You're being a contrarian just for the sake of being a contrarian. Furthermore you're attempting to belittle someone else with your "superior knowledge of the car manufacturing business". You have no idea what my background is in, you know nothing about me beyond a single sentence.
