Even within the same manufacturer, it makes sense to have different bolt patterns because vehicles are of different sizes. As I understand it, the bigger / heavier the vehicle, the larger number of bolts and the further the distance away from the center of the wheel would be needed.
What really doesn't make sense is the lack of standardization. Why does Fiat fxxking need to use their stupid a$$ 4x98 bolt pattern when they could easily have gone with the far more common 4x100?! Why does Chevy need to use 5x105 when Toyota uses 5x100, and Volvo / Ford uses 5x108? Are those 3 or 5 mm difference really that super important that they can't go with a common pattern?
It's like cell phones -- when phone manufacturers all started moving to micro USB, it was a god-send! And now the standardization towards USB-C is even better.
