Hmmm.....where to start chief....lol.....
1st..... engineering of ball joint...where does it state that an interference fit is part of the design, and that antiseize would interfere with that design?
OEM has forgottem to mention AND apply lubricants and antiseize to MANY locations in the build that could use it.....they care little about what corrodes on suspension, especially when it comes to nuts/bolts, or how easy it comes apart.
Manufacturers like Moog often do not include lubricants for parts they sell, or anti-corrosion appliques. While antiseize might have been originally intended and very useful for dissimilar metals.......it is also quite useful to prevent corrosion on similar metals too.
Not arguing chief.......just thinking out loud.......lol
