in my experience it budget means lots of cutsbudget does not mean user-friendly.
I don't see how it should cost more to cut out a little section in the metal.
another thing to discredit your idea... most people who spend money on HS's/coolers that require a backplate can afford to spend good money on a case...
This is a valid question. Anyone who understands stell stamping can tell you this is not an extra step - it's just a die modification that's needed (a one-time event).
MY guess, however, is that they don't add this b/c until the past year or two it hasn't been a big deal. Before the push-pins it was clips - neither of which require a backplane.
Last time I checked not every motherboard has the cpu slot in the exact same place...
We have a winner. The mobo tray in my stacker looks like Swiss Cheese.

i have no idea why this discussion is still going..
obviously you have no idea about manufacturing costs. the more you do, the more it costs
simple as that.
someone brought up shell stamping, and whilst it is a valid way to get the cut w/ no big extra cut. the cut usually needs to be worked on afterwards, making sure the edges are not sharp in order to no cut through wires and etc.
furthermore, this ruins the stablity of the motherboard. with "budget" cases usually trying to be cheap, they use the motherboard plate as a way to stablize the computer. by cutting it out, it loses integrity and becomes more flimsy. As this cut gets bigger, like you suggested, the case will become even more flimsy, ultimately leading it to being complete crap.
so there you have it. they wont do it themselves, stop being an idiot and staying you have an amazing idea and bitch at everyone who says you are wrong.
these guys MAKE the cases, they usually make the stuff that goes in it too. they know more than you, they know wire management exists and are the ones that make it possible.
These companies have thousands of people, there is no doubt that a few that have thought of this idea already and spend millions trying to get it working, and as you see it is not in the cases, thus.. there is a reason for it.
when it comes to companies and their products.. they are usually smarter than you. if they did not add something in, there is a reason for it. so stop complaining and do it yourself.
even high end cases have motherboard trays that slide out but you still have to unscrew the motherboard to get to the backplate
A simple cutout behind the motherboard socket area so that backplate installation etc. is less of a pain in the ass? Antec, I'm watching you!
