Critical connectors on my Toyota have gold flashed pins.It's not JLR it's the Italian, Japanese, Chinese and German looms ,connectors , control modules and cabling suppliers.
most computers for many years have use gold plating contacts but then they are not subjected to water ingress until they end up on the scrap heap so no grease
whilst the Automotive suppliers have tried plated copper, brass and even steel contacts (Ford being one of the first to try plated steel )
