If you think a about it, when you're making millions of units like Apple did with the LC, the more you can save on the board by using less chips, the cheaper it will be in the long run. Deleting a $1 part/chip that would give 32bit data bus and forcing everyone with a 16bit data bus, means saving a million dollars a for every 1,000,000th unit they made.
And it took apple 10 years to recover from the damage that penny-pinching did to their reputation. :(
