I doubt they like the transition. But Tesla showed that people will pay more up-front for a car that meets the qualifications you mentioned, so other automakers were forced to take the EV transition seriously if they wanted to stay afloat. Regardless we shouldn't prop up old industries and jobs just because they predated newer, more efficient processes.
