> I haven’t seen a new truck without a bed liner in decades.

Plenty of 'em out there homie. I bought a used DMax in 2019 and despite being a Denali edition it didn’t come with a bedliner, just a rubber mat for the floor. I should have had one sprayed in when I got the truck because my box is now beat to shit.

I think all the previous owner did with it was tow a horse trailer.
