Some brands/dealers are no-pressure. My wife had very good luck with a Mini dealership in 2014. My impression at the time was that that was part of their corporate approach to sales. I have no idea if that's still the case, but it was pain-free, pressure-free and all very easy. All the features were a la carte. There were packages, but you could also order each feature individually if you preferred.
Individual dealerships and salespeople certainly prefer the in-person pressure-oriented sales model. But offering a showroom and online custom-ordering would certainly make _me_ more likely to buy vehicles more often. As it is, I drive my cars into the ground until I don't feel I can trust their reliability for my typical trips any longer (luckily I _do_ trust my mechanic), but it's usually a few years after I start thinking about replacing them. If it was truly easy to do, I would probably jump a lot sooner.
