One can get a Unicat on any chassis one wants, including a Ford. Some of us have chosen different chassis.
Dick Smith tried to get his Ford repaired in Mongolia and ended up leaving it there all winter, in a small town!
"Reeking of luxury" like gold plated fixtures - that's GOOD???
You'd think a $1.5M expedition truck would have a front diff lock and CTIS. To say nothing of an engine and transmission not lifted from the pickup truck line.

Try getting a typical Unicat chassis repaired in Jarbidge without a long wait, too!
Why not gold fixtures out in the middle of nowhere if money is no object? Along with the gold fixtures you get such things as radiantly heated floors in addition to classic hot air heat ... plus air conditioning with no generator.
Are you saying that Ford 4WD options no longer include lockable front hubs? Strange if true ... but maybe due to safety concerns.
I expect that CTIS can be specified at ordering time for the vehicle in my photo.
The Unicat interior seen in these photos is way too spartan, smooth, and shiny for me and the DW - especially if money is no object:
