DCS engineers would need to find a measurable improvement in some aspect of the device’s performance to justify the recurring cost increase of using a specially designed fuse. That, and manufacturing/logistics would also have to find a reliable volume supply of these devices, preferably from more than one vendor. Quality assurance would have to define and run the appropriate incoming inspection process to ensure that the devices met specifications and were uniform over different lots, vendors, and time.

This is what engineering companies do.

The same could be said for vacuum tubes - why doesn’t McIntosh use Gold Lion re-issues when customer preference for these valves is universally positive?
