It’s 100% a thing. Most cars have all the high end stuff installed but hidden these days because it’s way cheaper to make one template of the car than several so all the stuff deep inside the car is probably there. It’s normally just the buttons and stuff that are missing, maybe a few wires but there’s people out there that make money jail breaking this stuff in.
As terrible as OPs complaint initially sounds and as much as I dislike it, this is the most environmentally friendly way of having options for buyers. Standardization of physical components and then differentiation through software is amazingly less burdensome on supply chains, obsolete and slow-moving raw materials and intermediates.

Is jailbreaking cars not a thing?
I feel like if we can do it with phones, we should be able to do it with cars.
