Look at TVs and computer monitors for example. I've got a Samsung SyncMaster T240 monitor that blasts out annoying noise all across the 2m ham band (and nearby police and fire bands). I've got to turn it off if I want to usefully scan those bands with a radio that is within a meter of the monitor.
Yet it passed FCC certification. Yes, it is noisy, but even if I were in a small apartment it would not be noisy enough to interfere with someone in another apartment. It just is a problem near the monitor.
Not all TVs and monitors are noisy. When playing with an RTL-SDR on my 2017 iMac I've never found any significant noise coming from the iMac for example.
Unfortunately this is something that reviewers don't seem to ever test.
Ford is eliminating AM radio from its entire line (except where contractually required), saving, I suppose, less than $10/vehicle. They’d rather deal with the bad press to save a few bucks from their BOM.
