Very simple: Like light weight single mass flywheels, a single mass standard weight flywheel would probably lead to problems elsewhere, most likely internally to the engine. The dual mass flywheel is not a substitute for the springs in the clutch; it absorbs and dampens vibration and harmonics inside the engine, mostly the crankshaft. The springs in the clutch disc absorbs shocks in the drive line (transmission, axels). They are not doing the same job, and removing the dual mass flywheel without thoroughly rebalancing the engine internals could lead to serious issues…………….
