Sort of. Mass market radios are designed for low cost and low power consumption, and the engineering cost is amortized over tens of millions of devices. For that market segment it makes sense to make a perfectly customized radio. There's nothing to stop them from putting a self-tuning phased-array radio on a niche product. At $50 a unit extra on a volume of 200,000 it might be viable. And the tech could be amortized over a line of industrial radios too.
