The solution is strong regulation. Just completely disallow things like this.

This is the true answer here.

Government doing it's job and regulating companies to prevent anti-consumer practices and hostile design.

I agree. There's not like hundreds of unknown car manufacturers just waiting for this privacy opportunity to strike so they make it big, who can then ramp up production to meet the need.. There's no way free market principles can provide a solution in this case
