So, then neither terminal of the battery would be directly connected to the car body - necessitating two wires for operating even, say, a dome light. Autos used to sometimes use the car body for a current return path for such things, but perhaps they no longer do this.

Even with a "ground" fault protector, it is still not too difficult to get across both the high and low wires if you are working on the car. However, people will no doubt soon learn to be as careful about auto wiring as they are about house wiring.
