You can't update/upgrade your onboard car infotainment/ECU like a smartphone. I'd assume the onboard map data going stale FAST.

You get to choose which smartphone to use, and when to upgrade them. The lifecycle of a car is A LOT longer than its onbaord infotainment.

I see no mandated free of charge on data updating, nor mandated support timeframe.
