Not everyone wants a tonne of electrical components in their car. Wind up windows = less electrics. They even have a rubber peace attached to the rear view mirror now to stop it rattling. Just evolution. It's been doing the job for decades ago why change when the demand for a basic hose out 4x4 is still there.
If the 70 series didn't exist, there would be no other option for a big basic 4x4 that's capable of the loads and abuse that they have been handling since, well, the 40 series really.
The ONLY option really is the Defender.... And that kicks off at $90k so.....

There is certainly merit in offering a very basic and durable machine with little to no technology. But to be charging in excess of $70,000 for such a basic thing is puzzling and nothing more than a ripoff.
