You could already replace the stereo in a car if you didn't like it, but you still bought the car.

Not really anymore. Most cars don’t have a discrete radio head unit anymore. The radio is way too integrated with vehicle controls.

Maybe so, mine's 10 years old so I haven't checked more recently.

I assume you can stick a CarPlay supporting screen on top of the existing dashboard at least, but it'd be hard to integrate.
