I can't help thinking that this is a decision mostly out of emotional attachment. Petrolheads _really_ love combustion engines. If you like motorsport it is a visceral, sonic experience: turbo intakes, turbo wastegate explosions, straight-cut transmission whines. You don't get into the industry without having at least some level of emotional attachment to all of that. EVs, lacking that sensorial component, make for objectively better, but emotionally neutral objects. I have no problem relegating combustion engines to motorsport and remote locations where fuel density is critical. I also think it we should drive out ICEs from any barely populated area, as the externalities in air and noise pollution are incalculably high.
