Just about all car manufacturers make more money on their car loans than on the actual automobile. Now you can add these bs subscriptions to those loans. The ultimate will be when your A/C and heater will not work until you pay your subscription fees of $40 monthly.

Sydney Sweeney poses with a Ford Bronco. Ford is now also charging monthly subscription fees for products or services that used to be free
I agree with your comment, but another cash cow for automakers is selling parts. I read years ago cars are relatively cheap compared to the parts they sell. For example the rear view mirror on the doors of our F150 are $1400 each.
BMW tried an $18/month subscription for the heated seats. They had to back off on that one. They do charge for digital features.
Don't buy a used BMW.
