If ICE vehicles fall out of fashion, oil will still be immensely useful for chemical refinement but with nowhere near the demand that burning it has. It'd still be a fortune but a slow one rather than a "drain it as fast as possible to print money" kind. Digging deep holes for geothermal guarantees the industry a future at this scale when the move to electric inevitably happens. The alternative is for them to pass up the opportunity and solar, wind, and nuclear to eat their lunch.
