That statement is too strongly worded.
I can come up with a justification for the existance of any part you care to
name, and an example of a model that would be weaker if it had to use the
composite parts instead.
That said, when doing a cost benefit analysis I tend to think that I would
have rather seen the molding money spent elsewhere for many of the parts
even if I CAN justify them.
