Because the customers don't really care and good designers are expensive. Kia/Hyundai spent a ton of money poaching BMW and Bentley designers (https://pulsenews.co.kr/view.php?year=2020&no=333734 indicates Luc Donckerwolke, poached from Bentley, made about 1.5M USD in 2019).

Like you said, no one buys Mitsubishi’s so they probably don't have the budget for high performing design execs.
