Some just don't get it. And probably never will. As an ostrich. With head in a dark hole. Missing all that is going on around them.

I'd hazard to guess that 90% of posters here have never viewed or seen the bottom of their vehicle. Up on a lift.
Most go to dealer. Get vehicle serviced. And sit in the comfy waiting room. Never to view the destructive rust on the bottom of their vehicle.
New vehicles begin to rust right on the new car dealers lot. Take a look at the rusting nuts, bolts, clamps made out of steel that rusts.
If you trade every 5-7 years - you probably will not see any body panel rust thru. But the bottom is surely rusting. Of course, you now have another new car for the next 5-7 years. So who cares.
Traditional undercoating is a misnomer. From the 1950'a Undercoating was done to add to sound deadening - not for rust inhibitors.
Oil undercoating is done annually. If one plans to keep vehicle for a long time. The oil will prevent rust. Even if there is some undercarriage rust on an older vehicle. The oil will restrict it. It is never too late to begin oil undercoating.
Thanks to the ostriches reading here. They keep the new car sales going.
