The argument made more sense 5+ years ago, but the hardware costs of sensors such as LIDAR has plummeted. In addition, a certain CEO of a certain car company has made very aggressive sales pitches about how LIDAR isn't necessary and even going so far as to sell unfinished self driving solutions as being completely capable of doing so. So hypothetically, if that car company were to adopt LIDAR, they would have been selling their solution under false claims in a sales capacity.
