Alienation I can see, but austerity? One of the things I plan on doing is building custom UIs for all the apps I usually use. Termux on stock Android is hobbled by unremappable key bindings that make using the Super key almost impossible, but when I can finally actually control the computer I carry around in my pocket all day, a blank canvas I can mold and shape is infinitely better.
I bet your Subaru is probably hackable, all these things run Linux under the hood, wouldn't be surprised if there were already a group of people on Reddit that have already done it. Lonely, this lifestyle does not have to be.

Years ago I would have said “much more likely to be QNX since a car always has a RTOS.” These days it’s likely Android Automotive, which has a massive share now. Note: despite the name it has nothing to do with “Android Auto.”
Overall, hacking on a car, even infotainment, seems very difficult. They really don’t want you to have any control over it.
