I quite agree. But alloy metallurgy is so ridiculously complicated I can’t do more than opine that there might be something that aluminum could be doped with to make it much better for vehicular use.

Just wondering, have you seen any transparent aluminum? I am so hoping that somebody can figure out a way to mass produce it.

If someone can figure a function that it cheaply fits, it will catch on in manufacturing. If not , it will just be a cool afterthought.It will have to fit a practical use and be cheap to manufacture to be of any use
