When you put a sticker on your car, it interfaces with intellectual property of the car manufacturer. It would be absurd if you had to pay BMW each time you modify your car, or say play a song over the integrated radio because that’s only possible due to their IP.

Yes, that would be absurd. It’s also not even remotely analogous to redistributing intellectual property.
