I'm not sure if it's 'extorting'. Software is hard. Apple/Google put a lot into developing/maintaining their software. People want it. Car companies don't have it. I can tell you the future. It's that legacy car companies will be merged, acquired, and reduced to a body style and brand logo with maybe 100 employees. Real competition is coming fast, there's no way they survive.
