>It wouldn't be better for the dealership when you take into the fact that they are a dying business that literally everyone (car manufacturers, clients, etc.) hate. The only thing that keeps them in business is laws that were passed so f()cking long ago that your grand parent were not even born yet.
There is no evidence of this. Dealerships exist, and flourish, all over the world where no such business laws exist.
Their business will change and adapt, some dealerships will fail, but "everyone hates" them is a major exaggeration.

Are you speaking of used-car dealerships, or "franchised first-party" new-car dealerships (e.g. "a Honda dealership")? I know the former exist in most places, but I think the latter is pretty-uniquely American.
