    Just guessing: so they don't have to abide by existing labs' more expensive high quality standards?

    They did use independent labs for a long time. It is very difficult to manage all the logistics of having labs all across the country with different systems different products and different standards and different results and expect to have control over the end result. That is not considering the cost of shipping frames back and forth.
