What possible reason could they have? Selling you a car stereo with more features at a higher price.

Fair enough. I can understand not including it on the basic radio only because then they would lose some CD player sales or some cassette player sales. But they won't lose any sales by including it when you upgrade and get the factroy cd player or cd/cassette player. They could charge an extra $15 more above the normal upgrade cost, include the input jack, and market it as "MP3 player ready", or "DVD player ready". They make $15 on a $1 part and many people will be thrilled to have it. Some will even choose that car over others just for the input jack.
