It's been that way for a long time.
Not such a problem for cars, generally. Inconvenient and annoying, yes, but seldom more.

That's why it's such a shame the Rover/Honda alliance fell apart. You got Japanese engineering and reliability but also a nice interior.
When I first drove Japanese cars in the late 80s, I was shocked at how much nicer they were to drive than Escorts, Astras and Fiestas. Sweet, revvy engines, slick precise gearboxes, light steering and neat handling. All the controls seemed to work in harmony, whereas on the Fords you had a heavy accelerator, a feather light clutch, a mushy brake pedal, a gearbox which felt like you were waving a wand, heavy steering and awful handling.

You know they don't have same suspensions, electronics, brakes, etc.
As said, same platform doesn't mean same car.

Interesting that as a mechanic I don't know that, and that you know they are different
When and if I can be bothered I will link you to some information. But in the meantime check out things like shock absorbers, brake parts, filters, belts and so on, and look at what vehicles they fit.
He's really laughing at you for paying over the odds for a Skoda Superb, thinking your a bit of a player with a 4 year old "S Line".I have a mechanic to do that for me. He pi$$es himself when people come out with the same car different badge waffle.

I think you're imagining it. You paid more for it, so you're feeling is that it is better.
It's all from the VW parts bins. I have seen someone strip down an Audi A6 drivers seat and it was just like any other VAG seat frame with VAG foam on top.
I can guarantee that you will find Skodas with all of that and you won't pay through the conk for the rings on the car.

If the car doesn't happen to be a BMW, or an Audi (or other 'high class' car), mysteriously it often becomes a 'suspicious car', or a 'vehicle':

I looked at some of those reports in your link, and none bar one of them stated what the make of the car was, so how would you know whether the car in question in each report was or wasn't an Audi or BMW?Oh dear, the press perpetuating the bias - how surprising!

Not true.
My A6 seat doesn't fit in the A4 of same year.
I tried because I wanted to swap interiors.
So here comes my favourite punchline...
Boll@x!
Well,
