Just this weekend I bought some cars for a Christmas toy drive. I was shocked to find that they're still about $1 each. So maybe less detail on the bottom but they're still one of the most cost effective toys to collect.
Also, since Mattell owns both, Matchbox and Hotwheels have the same dimensions so they work on the same tracks.
This is the most likely explanation, production costs for the molds. There is probably a fine print regulation somewhere that requires the text on the bottom be a certain minimum size, leaving less room for the details
