"CUSTOMERS demanded bigger screens" That's a bold statement...

  Many of them do. My aunt bought a new car last year and was bragging about how big the screen was. She seemed confused that i thought a big screen was a downgrade.

    Why would you not want a thing in your car that you’d want in your home? *slaps hood* This baby’s got four toilets! /s

  In the states I've lived installing a big screen like that in your car is against the law. Unless the manufacturer specified it as original equipment. So yes, a bigger screen is a selling point

  I know I'd be one of them. A big and higher definition screen provides a ton more context from the navigation's map with wider sidebars that can contain more information, while also providing more contrast and better legibility. Usual Android auto screen sizes and resolutions feel to me like the difference between looking at a 32" monitor and an early 4.5" LED mobile screen. Too small for context, low definition, and not enough space to display additional useful information (so you don't have to touch the display every 5 seconds).

As someone with a 2003 Golf (with a tape deck) I find the screen on my iPhone sufficient to get me to where I want to go. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  People that wouldn't buy it, aren't customers :)
