They didn't make econ. sense to the growing middle class at that time. The rich could afford them but they were a small market niche.

That is true, it is also true of many newly developed items. Also note that it was Ford (and to a lesser extent other companies) that changed this not the government.

No, I would prefer that the consumer (defined as anyone who consumes and has demand for goods and services so this would also include the corporate world) decides and not the government.
