I don't disagree with you. The carriers in my experience only care about making as much money as they can off data and even their "IoT" package offerings tend to be a joke in terms of actual cost if you want to do more than SMS between devices once in a while. On the vehicle side, I've sat in negotiations between the big carriers and big automotive manufacturers several times now and I can assure you the autos are not able to exert nearly as much pressure as you would think. Data prices have actually been one of the big causes of crappy head unit experience and lack of OTA updates for the mass market.
