 A good friend of mine does OEM engineering of all sorts of stuff for GM 3rd party vendors. You'd be extremely surprised by the reasoning behind things like this. While it seems dumb (and kinda is dumb), there is usually a reason beyond cost. For example, its possible those fastners were spec'd to sheer at a certain load, in order to prevent damage to something else in the system. Plastics also get used in situations in which multiple types of materials are being fastened together, to help prevent issues like galvanic corrosion.
