To me, it's a waste of resources, but hey, I don't create the business cases for BMW, Audi, etc.
This is one area where I think Volvo was smart. While I am still no fan of touch screens and a lack of physical controls, Volvo decided to let Google/Android design their Infotainment system. Its simple, easy, and intuitive, and features built in Spotify, Google Maps, and Google Play Store, and Apple Carplay is also still available to use with it. And they used the Google Assistant, which is the best voice assistant at the moment, much better than the BMW assistant or MBUX one too.
