It's not expensive enough to be worth leaving out in basically any car.

Basic security shouldn't be a premium feature.

That’s your opinion presented as a fact.

It is, which is pretty normal for opinion posts.

But your argument that this is okay is also an opinion.

I’m stating the manufacturer did not advertise this security feature, nor did any of the purchasers really care until their cars started getting stolen and used to cause mayhem.

You stated a basic security feature such as an immobilizer should be installed by default because it’s cheap.

Am I missing something?

The implication of "it would be one thing" and "you get what you pay for" is that this product offering is acceptable. Which is an opinion.

If there was no implication intended, then "it would be one thing if X" would be a tautology. Which wouldn't make sense as a post.

And then in contrast, my opinion is that this product offering is not acceptable.

It’s the law in most countries. It is a fact, averaged out globally.
