I'm no conspiracy theorist...
But, as the pieces of the puzzle fall in place, a picture begins to emerge...
-Manufacturers are starting to pipe up that they don't want gear-heads tinkering
-It seems almost every car on the road needs a timing chain at 100k
-Oil change intervals are dramatically longer
-Cars are running much hotter (MIL's 535 runs at 260 with 15k oil chg int)
-Silly things like oil filters are being minimized
I believe, something like a baby-sized oil filter, is just a small indication that auto manufacturers are purposefully building cars to not last, with shorter projected life spans, and high maintenance costs...the new car sale income stream is not profit heavy.
