Because it’s cheaper for them. Building all the cars the same simplifies production and inventory management. They don’t have to configure each car for the end users requirements; they just use software to turn these features on.
The question that should be asked is if they can put these features into the car and still make a profit why are these added features so expensive as all the fees are 100% profit!
Then just sell that one model and enable everything. Otherwise don't complain when hackers crack the box and enable the features.
Oh I agree with you and am not defending this practise. Was just trying to explain why it’s done.
No no I know. Don't worry. LoL. This reply wasn't directed at you. It's just what's on my mind. It feels good to vent.
