It's always an issue of externalizing costs. Everyone wants to do what benefits them in the short term, and have the environment maintained and supported by someone else.
A: Hey, let's build this cool graphical UI and add lots of features to our car.
B: And the cost of maintaining that OS, libs, dependencies for the next 15 years will be paid by whom, exactly?
A: Naw, we'll support for one year only. Maybe two.
B: And when there is a software vuln found in a 10 year old version that would allow an attacker to disable the steering and breaks while the car is moving, you wont issue a recall?
A: recall? This is software! Everything is provided without warranty or fitness of use, haven't you read the EULA? It's in ALL CAPS
