Because NHTSA pushed back the requirement until 2006 and Acura is cheap

It's in the '04 MDX. How hard could it have been to put it in the new TL?

Wnen Temp drops from 34F to 5F on the morning, I would like to know if there is enough pressure in the tires. At 5F with windchill in -10F I prefer to have an acurrate TPS.

cause it's fucking gay and would prevent you from putting on aftermarket wheels. The ones on the MDX have the sensors in the wheels themselves...not on the valves so they are not interchangeable...and if you want different fims...then you will loose that feature.
