Why can't Missouri Meerschaum include stronger stems on their cobs?

MM has just recently introduced strong acrylic stems on a 2 or 3 of their pipes- at about double the price. How hard would it be to put strong acrylic stems on most of their pipes? Those cheap plastic stems get crimped so easily.
I figure, adding a $3-4 upcharge to the price and by using identically shaped stems, would not break their bank. Or how about this: Provide an option to choose strong acrylic stems with most cobs at an upcharge, but not doubling the cost of the pipe?
Thoughts?
