Perhaps because cars ran just fine (albeit with fewer features) for a long time with zero lines of code.

So the more important question is: did adding software improve things (enough to be worth the “cost”)?

With cars, there are certainly many things where it did improve things: satnav, reverse camera, traction control etc, but also some where it made a perfectly working system worse (ie the “fixed” something that wasn’t broken): touchscreen dashboards.
