Probably because they discovered its a redundant design.

Would you run series style glow plugs? If you had a car that came with them originally?
Who was it that "discovered" design was redundant? You can still buy ATE caliper as well as calipers rebuilt by ATE. And it appears from their current catalog they still have the heat shields! I imagine it was someone like Cardone who decided they were redundant?
Heck even our local C$60 rebuilts have them installed.

My car never had series glow plugs, but for cars that didn't they would be an improvement. How is leaving off a brake part an improvement? Poor analogy, I am afraid

From current ATE catalog:


Why not email ATE directly and ask them? Better than conjecture that might suggest others buy the wrong thing.
This is their contact email: ate.hotline@continental-corporation.com
