radio does suck, but its also a vital information system during emergencies. what liabilities does a manufacturer open themselves up to by refusing access to a potentially lifesaving device?

I think you might have misunderstood the post? There wasn't anything about the manufacturer disabling the radio. The person I replied to said they'd choose not to use the car's fancy features and I thought it was funny they'd do that to "spite" the manufacturer after giving them a whole bunch of money.
