I certainly would insist on it. CarPlay and its Android counterpart are a far sight better than the infotainment systems the majority of cars ship with to begin with, plus they won’t have problems like their navigation data becoming outdated with updates costing money.

My car dash should be the “dumb TV” to my phone’s “streaming box”.

What is the benefit of CarPlay or Android Auto if you have Bluetooth audio? Navigation and music go through the car's speakers.
Visuals for navigation, a bigger screen that can be more easily viewed while sitting upright in the driver’s seat, and UI that’s designed for use while driving.
