Do you need dicast metal parts on your MP TF toys? yes or no

Personally,I can do without diecast metal parts on my MP TF toys. Because other than nostalgia & future profits,I don't see anymore positives here.

I see much more negatives like as follows:
1- Buyers pay more due to the high cost of the diecast metal parts.
2- Painted on paint,chips extremely easily on the diecast metal parts.
3- If the diecast metal parts are not painted they Rust--> example: MP Megatron.
4- Depending on how much or where the diecast parts are placed,This can make the TF toy unstable due to the heavy diecast metal parts weighing the frame of the toy down.
5- Often times the diecast metal parts cause too many sculpting problems as the plastic parts don't fit together that well with the diecast metal parts.
6- Since the diecast metal parts cost so much,Often times this causes Hasbro/Takara to do cutbacks/short cuts with the MP TF toy,in order to come under budget & release the toy at a decent low price to please retailers/buyers.
7- Most of the time,the shades of colors don't match on the plastic & diecast metal parts.
8- Sometimes the joints get more loose or break or scratch or chip on diecast metal parts that are also connected to plastic parts.
9- and the list goes on.

I think minus the diecast metal parts,Hasbro & Takara can create less fragile,less short cuts,higher sculpting & better MP TF toys. Because the Diecast metal parts won't eat up any of the budget,due to it not being incorporated in the MP TF toy.

I like diecast, though I'll admit it does make MP Optimus Prime a little top heavy. I enjoy it in the old G1 figures, but they're small enough that there isn't a weight issue, so maybe the size of the figure should be taken into consideration.
