Nonsense. They want all the data to themselves and want a subscription to sell.

They have stability issues that manifest themselves as bad connections, poor rendering, slow responses, and dropped connections.

Yeah, you know what's funny? The built in systems have these problems even worse, which is exactly what drives people to use the phone based alternative instead.

And when CarPlay and Android Auto have issues, drivers pick up their phones again, taking their eyes off the road and totally defeating the purpose of these phone-mirroring programs.

Okay, and somehow using the built in ones, which always get cheaper hardware and less development resources, which always perform much much worse, doesn't cause people to pick up their phones?

So they’re going to spend countless millions developing one that’s better? How exactly are they going to solve the problems they suggested? Are they going to invent a better USB cable? Reinvent Bluetooth?

but no problem making 2 metre tall pickup trucks that are designed to kill pedestrians with ease, be unable to see children at all and blind drivers going in the opposite direction

Well, that means I will be dropping GM.

Dude, I really just want a nice adjustable mount for the phone. These things don't do what I want or else stop doing it randomly in the middle of the ride, requiring reconnecting and reset. I know how to use and not use my phone.

This is total bull shit. The data stays on your phone. Like another commented said, GM wants the data and they don't want to pay Apple and Google
