Underhood insulation?

Bout the only perceivable function I see of the underhood crap is to help reduce or totally prevent the paint from being scorched off of the metal from abnormally high engine temps.
As for that I don't think I know any Dodge built between 90-2014 not to have crappy quality OEM paint that is shot to sh*t, or already repainted with better.
Since paint is only as good as the prep work done and process used,that is where Dodge went AFU. They replaced their original multi jet sprayer system, with a rotisserie and dipped method.
Then leaving them to partially "drip dry" before starting the baking to cure process as well. The excuse being, more "cost effective, and EPA friendly" as well as less "wasteful of paint per body code paint lot"
Our's underhood material, fasteners and all was gone before we got the ole girl. I had to repair the underhood service light because of it I guess not being removed in any type of careful way.

Using that thought and replacing paint with steel.........
Think about it, heating steel white hot is part of tempering and hardening it anyhow.....
with the implication that it cannot possibly hurt?
I am not trying to be the total a*sh*le in the crowd, but do you at least understand how asinine and stupid that truly is?
Now don't get me wrong, I love Dodge and always have since the first 67 Charger RT/SE Fastback I saw at a carshow as just a tiny tyke.
Dodge is still well known for crap transmission quality (more specifically their AT's) additionally starting in about '85 and becoming even more noticeable around 1990+/- to have crap quality paint and clearcoat.
