Ford always choose the fastest production method as they sell so many cars.
Bolting them on is fine,their not hard to weld though so its swings and roundabouts really.
I used to work at honda for manys years and it took 2 blokes to fit wings and bonnets then someone to adjust. spot weld method place in jig press button job done.
But honda are really way behind imo with production methods on certain aspects of a car.
BUT i've seen a wing on a escos thats been bonded on by a bodyshop
