@dwightlooi I think Ford is doing that too on at least one engine line. 

Again, I find it hard to excuse that GM's flagship engine -- the Blackwing 4.2 -- does not have dual injection and does not have the cam-switching Tri-power valvetrain.

Maybe GM is being too cheap on its best engine and does not want to spend the $$$$ on making it standard throughout its engine families.

Now GMA is reporting that the 2020 Blazer will get the LSY 2.0 and 9 speed as a powertrain choice. (Like the Acadia will)
