That’s what it takes to be a challenger in that space. For example, most biotech series As are $100M, because that’s just what it takes to compete (but/lease equipment etc.).

"Challenger" was used to imply lack of resources for improving software quality.
We can't have them be both challenger in that sense, and accept that challenger in their case means multi-billions.
Challenger or not, $15 B doesn't explain a totally crappy software engineering process and result even if its just for the infotainment system.
First, we're talking about a multi-billion dollar company here (they've raised ~ 15 B), not some small "challenger".
Second, your example is the iPhone and Facebook. Those don't have the potential to kill their owners or run over people.
