Just because something works is a bad reason to settle for an inferior part. Why wouldn't the radio manufacturer use a better device? Higher profit margins is why. The same reason cb shops replaced the 1969 upgrade with the mosfet upgrade.

You make a good point about the antenna system. The manufacturer knows what their customers are capable of. Why not use a better device that will tolerate a less than perfect antenna. Why not have the transmitter fold back the power to save the finals when things are really bad?

This would have been a lot to ask 10 or 20 years ago but I think it's a reasonable expectation today.
