I've never noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out. I knew you could get by with a single aluminum hub. I guess I misunderstood the purpose of the plastic one. In all honesty, they could just sell a plastic part with no versahub, just a mock bearing and it would work fine (and be cheaper to make).
