I always put anti seize on plugs too. But unfortunately the factory doesn't !

Rather snippy comment, don't you think? I don't know of any car manufacturer that uses anti-seize on plugs; they are to be installed dry so that they will be torqued properly.

This... antiseize affects torque specs, and that's extremely difficult to account for. They can't feasibly use antiseize on many parts, which is why time intervals are used as well as mileage - helps alleviate age-related concerns where antiseize would help.
