I love the RS wipers in my F350, and they work nearly perfectly.  In the Mach-E, they aren't near as good.  I miss them when I drive the Bronco in the rain.

With Indian markings on it...Not sure if India is RHD like the UK and Japan, but it is RHD in the photos, so I'm assuming this is targeted at the Indian market. 

Looks like a MIG-29 Fulcrum in the hangar...

On my 2021 Ranger anyway, the RS wipers have a master on/off choice in the settings menu in the info display.

It is probably both, depending on the feature and type of vehicle. Rain sensing wipers may not be as important to BS customers as they are for Lincoln's. The change from an opening moonroof to a fixed panel design on the 2026 Explorer will have some moving the vehicle off their list. 

I thought that this was enabled by default? 

Shame, mine is always on auto. I was a passenger in a Rav4 yesterday and my constant whining seeing all the faults the vehicle had. Talk about discontenting. No rear A/C vents, no lighted switched on doors (Had to pull a Helen Keller to open door and window), poor headliner, chitzy plastic, I could hear rain drops on the side glass, rear wheel well wasn't quiet, you could hear water splash. It was truely a 3rd world vehicles.  If Ford wants to be Toyota it should be reliability, not scrimping out on details.

I revert to my argument in most of the decontenting.......if competitors have it, and Ford keeps dropping x, y, z, it's a reason for people to pass on buying the Ford.   I'd use them if i had them.

This may be in response to data from Ford Connect. FC can send info back to Ford on how some features are used, or not used, and decisions can be made on discontinuing feature, or moving it to a different option package or trim, if people are using the wipers in rain sensing mode seldomly or not at all. It could be a catch-22. People don't use them because they don't know they are there, or don't know how to navigate the Settings menu to turn the feature on or off. 

Rain sensing wipers is a stupid feature anyway. Good riddance.
