Those who don’t care, wouldn’t care anyway. If they still have the car the can just sell it, if they don’t have the car its irrelevant. Most people just don’t want new troubles in their lives, its juts money long gone.

It’s a cult, in cults people don’t demand refunds from the messiah. IRL they ask what else I can contribute to the church to fix that because it mist be their fault that the prophesies didn’t come true. In the end it’s not a problem if part

Why optimize for profit? These institutions have far greater cause of providing the population with culture. In UK for example, most museums are free - at least the best and most important ones.
