GM has stated it believes (I’m skeptical) there is $25 BILLION in subscription based features and services. That alone assure every vehicle will ge5 the hardware.
And lastly, all of the OnStar hardware and its connectivity is what enables OTA programming, which in many cases these days can address recalls. FYI, although Tesla passed OnStar, GM did beat them to the first OTA recalibration of a powertrain module. Transmission in the CTS as I recall.
Sorry, but your idea, perfect for you and I believe many, many more, won’t ever happen.

Obviosly what enthusiasts in this forum want doesn't mesh with reality, otherwise they wouldn't have cancelled the camaro twice.
I just hope they enjoy the future they're creating thru greed. I think it's just a downward trajectory for car's place in the household with enshitifying cars.
