Default Magazine materials question

Is there a rhyme or reason for the use of wood, plastic or aluminum in mag bases?

The use of wood as a structural component, that is in such an intricate configuration (at the base), is very interesting!

Just seems that aluminum would be the material of choice to stand up to the abuse that a mag sees (while being dropped, pistol set down, etc).

Thanks for any information you can shed!
