That would actually be a terrifying precedent. "Can not pair phone to iCar™. Please use an iPhone next time, moron".

A massive corporate monopoly enforcing the use of its devices by purposefully removing cross compatible functionally between different platforms. Spineless governments don't do anything cause they are toothless and on the payroll.
