But if you get in an accident and somehow blame the manufacturer then they could be liable, better to just stop you then risk lawsuits.

The US lawsuit happy culture lead to this imo

Maybe other car companies will go to this but, well, they arent doing this right now. So it would seem that the every other car company did the calculus and they are not concerned about lawsuit risks in this regard.

Another stooge who's swallowed the corporate propaganda of frivolous lawsuits.

What? It's a real thing, sometimes it's bullshit on the manufacturer's side, sometimes it's bullshit by the person suing. Regardless a lot of lawsuits means companies try to force as much of the risk onto consumers instead. That's not corporate propaganda, it's understandable capitalist bullshit
