I disagree.

I think this argument will backfire in a couple of years from now.

A car does not feature my personal data - up to now. A harddisk with your account information and so on is not the same as an engine.

Car makers become more and more data aware and ironically there is no engine in the traditional sense in e-cars anymore.

Encrypt. This is a silly reason. Why not make devices with removable disks? They could be removed and sent for repair. Not everything have to be soldered.

But a slot is 0.5mm overhead over just soldering a bare part!
