Bean counters have already determined that the cost of paying CAFE fine is less than accelerated wear on tires, because most manufacturers warranty does not cover tires.
So your tires wear out the middle in 18 months, cost VW Group nothing. Increase fleet fuel economy by just 1 mpg saves them HUNDREDS of millions. So what if overinflated tires create a smaller contact patch? Every crashed car in an accident is a new sale for SOMEBODY.
