Because if you keep the headquarters there, you keep employees there. If the employees are beholden to the government or are democrat in nature, they help support local politicians who are also Democrats.
Democrats vote for a Democrat governor (the POS Granholm) and thus keep Michigan blue.
It was about keeping votes in Michigan, specifically the Southeast section of Michigan. Same with the UAW, it doesnt matter two dead ducks about "profit" and "financial sense"...its all about votes. A politician wont cut a fart if it doesnt gain them votes or money.
