Push pins - whatever happened to good ol' screws and bolts?

I feel that push pins are are worthless. My Accord is full of them. My 300ZX has zero push pins. Everything is fastened together with small black metal screws with washers under them so as to not damage the surface it’s fastening to. Day and night build quality between the two.
IMO there is way too much plastic used in today's vehicles, especially considering the ridiculously high prices of these new vehicles...

Man, living in the rust belt I wish there was more. It's also why I like plastic push pins, most body hardware rusts on the exposed threads and typically the fastener breaks during removal. I've never cursed a broken plastic fastener considering how inexpensive they are to replace.
 
When I bought my '16 Versa I had a few missing push pins. I was able to go on eBay and find the size I needed for $2/100 with free shipping from China. I've still got around 90 of them left.
