Well if that's the case they really should have considered the optics better.

Also, "who cares it's just one small state in one country" is not a very nice thing for a company to express either.

Either way it's a bit of a middle finger to the affected customers IMO.

It’s not a middle finger necessarily. While I have no automotive industry experience I’ve definitely been in situations where I was prohibited from being able to provide customer value adding capabilities to systems due to compliance issues, either lack of clarity of the requirements, added compliance costs making the feature untenable or compliance mandated deadlines not meeting estimated delivery times.

It feels terrible to do but there isn’t much choice.
