No for sure I hear what you’re saying, onstar was just a handy example, other vehicles have OTA updates also and systems to disable the vehicle.

My point was the tech isn’t specific to BEV it’s becoming a “feature” in modern cars more broadly

Absolutely. If you care about this, search for a YT video or something about how to disable it, and they'll walk you through it and list the caveats. For example, sometimes it'll just show a warning on the infotainment center, and other times unrelated functions will break.

BEVs certainly started the trend, but once they showed people will put up w/ it, combustion vehicles followed suit.
