Probably done by the same people at GM who decided that seat memory buttons must be held down to move the seat (for "your safety"), one can no longer simply press them once and have the seat move automatically into position (like it did even in previous gen GM vehicles, the proper way).

At the very least they could've added settings for these and turn them off by default, then they wouldn't be culpable if someone gets their fingers crushed by the window/seat. Then again, obstruction sensors aren't really black magic, they could've added them, too, I swear I would've happily paid $100 or $200 more for the car to help cover these massive expenses (and then some).
