TLDR: Automakers want a piece of the data harvesting pie. But don't worry they assure us it's just to improve their products. You know, like the infotainment they're building, that they wouldn't need to build if they kept phone integration.

I just 3D printed a phone holder that slots into a CD player (yeah I have that old car). So now that I have a phone there it looks like it's an infotainment screen. Plus it's silky smooth unlike slow ass infotainment systems. Powered by AIMP player and HERE WeGo maps.
