In addition to the economies of scale barrier you discussed, its not insignificant that you can't just mail order from Acme a kit full of "Suspension Manufacturing and Testing Eqipment" nor can you go to Kelly Sevices for suspension engineers, plant managers and even trained manufacturing employees.
I'd like to hear of any more highly proprieatary computer hardware business nor one that's been dominated so long by one company. HTCH's problem has been inconsistant financial performance largely because they will go to any lengths to make sure the customers get the leading edge products.
