Okay, that's another way of saying everyone pays for it through higher prices or taxes or whatever, and you can't opt out of it.
Wait until you hear about seat belts.

Seat belts don’t spy on me.
Seat occupancy sensor for the airbag sure does, it even weighs your ass.

The occupancy sensor isn’t the problem — the problem is the mandatory cellular uplink that shares the data with the manufacturer.

That applies to all state mandated stuff I suppose. But it does mean the system can benefit from an economy of scale.
" eCall is a system used in vehicles across the EU which automatically makes a free 112 emergency call if your vehicle is involved in a serious road accident. You can also activate eCall manually by pushing a button. "
"Compulsory for new car models
If you buy a new model of car, approved for manufacture after 31 March 2018, it must have the 112-based eCall system installed."
