Dyson could produce an after market metal soleplate for its models too and let users buy if so inclined for the additional cost. Even outsource the job to a parts maker[s].

True, but this would only work on models like the DC07 and DC14 as the DC15, DC18, DC24 and DC25 had fixed soleplates due to the way you remove the brush bar or brush bars!
I was led to believe the only reason they used a metal soleplate on the DC15 was to aid movement and reduce friction! Probably don't require it on the other ball models due to them being lighter!
