As of 4 years ago, the VW Group strategy was to have multiple competing OSes (close to one per brand).
Around 2019, VW Group changed their strategy to unify software for all brands and platforms under the same car OS and bring more of the module/vendor code in-house. This is partially useful as the company-wide goal is to convert most of the fleet to electric, but also to change the revenue model somewhat (increase subscriptions and ICE pay features).
