Koodo's for revamping the firewall coupling. There are 2 reasons for the current coupling. 1 - Incase of crash and engine submarining, coolant is not sprayed into the interior. 2 - Ease of manufacture. Number 2 is more important.

Except for sealing the firewall, running coolant hoses directly to the core would be quite simple and cheaper. Remember the engine can move, so there needs to be flexibility in the engine compartment, but not in the cabin where the core is fastened and rigid.
