why were immobilizers standard in just about every other manufacturer’s vehicles?
They aren’t. They’re offered in many cars to prevent theft. 🤯
Some things are not the burden of the consumer
Lots of things are not anyone’s burden. Like immobilizers. I mean maybe one day UNICEF will enter the immobilization industry and we can all have them for free. Until then, it costs someone money. If the consumer wants to pay for it, they can choose 1 of hundreds of other vehicles. If they don’t, that is their choice also. It’s not the manufacturer’s burden.
you should not need to be an expert in your doctors provided care or in the additives in your toothpaste.
And you don’t have to be. That’s why there are doctors and dentists. You do still maintain a responsibility of educating yourself on some basic level and maintaining your personal health. Not really sure what your point was there.
