A new observation.
So a friend pointed out to me that the passenger mirror on C8 sticks out farther than the driver side. Yes, I confirmed...it does. You can see the diff when looking from front.

Chevy mentioned that at the C8 reveal event back in 2019, it's to help minimize blindspots. It's reversed for RHD export vehicles.

Yup! But it is useful to have it this way. However I still rely on the mirror camera.

It's also the side (theoretically) less exposed to damage from other vehicles/bikes/etc "clipping/hitting" it.

It's something that has bothered me about all cars since I first noticed it decades ago. It's why I prefer mirrors mounted to door triangles--as the differences needed--side-to-side--are minimal and unobtrusive when mirrors are located on the triangles.
Most preferable would be VW XL1 style side mirror cameras...but we won't go into that....

Id say: Kudos to GM design for making it look as least obvious as possible 
You want more mind blowing information , you say?
Think about the 'sound file' the interior computer has to play each time you use the turn signal; there's no mechanical switchgear in the current day turn stalk - so the car literally plays an audio file when you signal.
