It's simple - carplay is a financial threat to car manufacturers. - It commoditizes the car - it eliminates upsell features/subscriptions after the sale. - it costs money to add carplay - like car manufacturers don't want interchangable head units, they want to own the infotainment system. - like wireless carriers didn't want the iphone - they wanted locked-down phones where they were the only ones who could sell you ringtones or music.
