Newer cars have more electronics, but that's because electronics became cheap and software features are expected (some even legally required). EV isn't causing this, it's just correlated with cars being new. ICE cars are already full of proprietary locked-down electronics. What drive train they use is irrelevant. For example, Renault, Peugeot, and Hyundai have cars in both EV and ICE versions, running basically the same software for both versions. If you're alluding to things like self-driving, then EV has nothing to do with it either. For example, Uber's self-driving prototypes are ICE.
