I'm with you 100%, but reality is strongly not in our favor.
In order to bring a new car brand to the market, it literally takes the resources of a narcissistic billionaire, and even those are much more like upper-middle class status symbols than affordable conveyance for everyone. The regulatory hill is a steep climb on its own and the incumbents have a literal 100-year head start on how to sell cars to normal people.
Even if we just look at the tech sector... where are the privacy-preserving cell phones? There are none, unless you are willing to do not much else on it other than phone calls, text messages, and very light web browsing.

Such cars will either be overly expensive and require parts to be shipped from Italy, or they'll be totally shoddy "look at me" cars like Tesla or DeLorean. > Even if we just look at the tech sector... where are the privacy-preserving cell phones?
