Modern cars are spy hubs on wheels, tracking your location, conversations, and behavior.

Sure, but IIRC, there's a federal law requiring certain devices to be included in a new car. That probably doesn't include a rebuild, but it could if that becomes a popular enough option to avoid it. It's also usually quite expensive.

    Would hope for EU to not have these laws, but I feel like that would be too much hope

    The EU seems to being going full steam on destroying privacy too, so I wouldn't bet on it.

    Yeah and even if someone is just making barebones frames for kit builds, I think there are legal limits on the number of kit cars that a single shop can do in a year. But those are corporate protectionist laws that we should probably get rid of.
