Default Brass welch plugs

I was reading the post about the plug being caught in the block and it brought back a conversation I had with my machinist. When putting the parts together for my build we were discussing brass plugs vs. steel. He made the comment about the electrolysis with dissimilar metals. I know that happens with plumbing so why doesn't it happen in auto engines?
