That was essentially technology bullet-point features, but since they flopped hard you can no longer buy curved TVs or 3D TVs. Turns out if people really don't want shit, it disappears again, no matter how hard various corporations push the shit.
Your logic only works in healthy markets like TVs where you could buy _EQUIVALENT_ device without the curvature or 3D.
Meanwhile with cars this isn't true - the touchscreen crap trend is being implemented across the market (since its cheaper) and many people can't freely choose a model and brand of their car (either due to costs, dealer availability or other factors like interior space or fuel consumption requirements).
If you'd be able to buy the same car, just with different control stack, THAT would enable the behaviour you describe.
Excuse me, but the TV is not at all "a healthy market", in a healthy market you would have choices for non-smart TV sets or - even more simply - decently priced simple monitors.
There’s many manufacturers and millions of used cars.
The makers also want ads in TVs for additional revenue streams, so customer wants can go jump off a cliff for all they care.
A great opportunity to serve Ads to a captive audience
