Car dealers' comfort is proportional to governmental scrutiny and control of their finances and transactions, so I think this is still a big deal as we move further and further away from the ability to independently transact among ourselves without controlling middlemen (government, banks, etc.) centralizing and controlling this ability. Not to mention the big banks and governments moving to blockchain financial vehicles they sanction and ultimately control. Soon you will have to be fingerprinted for a SIM card here like in Saudi Arabia. I've lived in SE Asia where you can buy a SIM card from a convenience store. To get one in KSA, I would have had to have had a government ID or number, and they fingerprint you to get an account. You know, because only criminals, drug dealers, and others use "burner" phones; it's not about trying to track and control you ;)
