Because they are their own business entity and are pretty much free to do as they please, be it right or wrong. Just like a person fitting illegal components to their personal car, you can buy it, fit it but the responsibility is on you if it fails or you get caught. Most dealers will do what ever they can to make money even if it goes against Fords recommendations, its just they cant claim warranty against Ford if they do so. They would rather sell the cheaper product then not get a sale at all hoping that there will be no issue later on. Stopping a dealer from being able to do this I think is against anti competitive laws or the alike as they are a separate business to Ford in their own right.
