My granny has an Audi, she bought it on their 24 Le mans performance, not because it comes in a nice pearl white shade, they don't ask her to drive it around the track and ask for input.

Sorry but that's real life, we can do all kinds of tests but they will always be based on laboratory conditions. Most companies and people would call that good enough and act like they know everything. However some companies go the extra mine and provide perks to qualified customers in return for valuable feedback which provides more information for more accurate specifications and further advancement. Also I may design one component for a crane or power plant but I'm no expert on cranes or power plants.
I was only suggesting that the manufacturer isn't always the best source for certain information, I didn't say your grandma was either but I can assure you someone drove that car around the track and it wasn't the manufacturer.
