Keith,
I think they were after "cheap, fast, and easy". Note that the wood panels are merely two flat surfaces per side with no real inletting. The sides don't even have to be sanded to match each other. In effect, you merely have to make two wood panels to set dimensions that are never put together till on the gun- "cheap, fast, and easy".
I think they decided it simply did not meet their quality standards for looks or fit, and they probably had plastic getting broken in assembly. Kinda like the plastic grip medallions- you're lucky if you get a pair off the gun without pulling the circles off!
They could see the complaints coming.
