Unnecessary cost and complexity are the reasons Tesla has quoted before. One less sensor to buy, or replace when it breaks.
I’m not convinced. There’s good reasons they’re the lone player in the self driving space with this vision only play.

Does sensor B have enough other benefits to outweigh the costs of adding it? I don’t know, but that’s the actual crux of this problem.
Hence my question, "How much precision do you need to keep from running into a parked truck?"
But for radar, correct, those modules are available as a commodity for automotive lifescales.
The general problem is that simple, cost effective radar is low precision while expensive, complex lidar is high precision.
