I am a software developer, I get the whole idea of using Android Automotive and the parallels he made with the smartphone industry that will allow easier app development even allow third-party to create apps.

But it is not acceptable to buy a premium phone that has no camera app, but has camera or does not allow you to play music. Every smartphone you buy, has the basic standard apps. If you don't like the apps you can install other.

In the case of Volvo you don't get basic apps and you don't have alternatives
