A car manufacturer cannot stop you from cutting the wires, an OS vendor can monitor what is going on with your computer in real time so they are more than capable of implementing a process for verification of third-party software.

With modems in modern cars, a car manufacturer could absolutely monitor wire resistence and "shut down" a wire remotely. Most people would agree however that's unnecessary and invasive.
