they aren't waiting. ICE cars are getting features made into subscriptions now (and that started years ago). That too, was something that was going to happen no matter what powered your car, it has nothing to do with the engine/motor.
Same with the "flexible" frame method of manufacturing. That's a trajectory manufacturers have been increasingly moving towards in ICE land anyway. EV just allows them to delete many support items to ICE engines (which may be more model specific) so it's even easier. But i wouldn't pretend that a common body wasn't something manufacturers were moving toward anyway, because we have many examples of that being the case even with our own car.
Your dystopian car driving future was going to happen no matter what because what's driving it had nothing to do with what you are implying.
