2/ A is simple. They hadn't tried it until Tesla rammed it down their throats, so are now late to the party
B also simple. Car companies usually hav bad software skills, outsource lots of their SW. ID.3 was bricked due to bad OS. We know that, so let's get on to the new stuff!

3/ C. Bad electrical architecture
You know. Munro presenting the Model 3 VS Bolt, where Bolt has several separate systems for what Tesla uses a unified one? That's true for most cars, ICE included.
Systems are separate and ancient, and only now OEMs are starting to modernise

4/ for examoke the Cadillac CT5 will be GMs first car to use a "modern" integrated system.
Bc of this, OEM OTA updates so far have been limited to infotainment etc, without being able to work on brakes and powertrain like Tesla does

6/ DISADVANTAGES to dealers are loss of software-update business, recall repairs and opportunity to interface w. customers to shove additional services.
DEALERS DON'T LIKE IT.
There are notions that major OTA is ILLEGAL bc considered servicing which MUST be done by dealers😮

7/ Enclosed article is recommended. I only touched the surface.
OEMs are now finally entering the 21st century, but with early 20th century ballasts tied to their feeble legs
