Yes, it was most commonly used on lower models and more commonplace after 1982, IIRC, possibly for reasons you suggested.
Alders rarely grow more than 2ft in diameter where I live, which might only yield several 2" x 15"wide boards per tree
and only if the trunk is very straight.
Alder wood grain has very little contrast compared to ash, so it's probably best suited to solid color finishes.
