That can theoretically already happen, has nothing to do with whether a car is electric, and we already deal with something kind of similar known as "limp home mode"
Tesla essentially made the first electric car people wanted to drive. It did that with a clear inspiration from the smartphone world, hiding and locking away all the ugly internals with a slick touchscreen interface. Of course other manufacturers are going to follow the most successful player, but at the same time they don't want to alienate their already established (ICE) consumer base and its network of dealers and mechanics.
Electric cars are a clean slate and they can afford to be bold with anti-features, Tesla have shown that they can get away with it.
