Once upon a time duallys were primarily used as work trucks. That is no longer the case. Most today will live as a TV foe a fancy RV.
The stick on fenders no longer cut the mustard.
A rancher. farmer may be OK with it, as they often knock them off anyway. A typical RVer will be a lot more discriminating. It will get washed and waxed a lot. All those crevices will hold excess wax and look terrible. Then the double sided tape holding them on will start to let go, making it even worse.
As for the occasional accident, it is not normally necessary to replace the entire bed.. Just the bed side, which is pretty easy and costs about the same as the fender, with better paint matching results.
Ford is simply cutting a corner on an expensive vehicle. Kind of like Cadillac did at the start of it's decline
