Hm? Should I as the user not be able to decide what I send or don't send?

Apple doesn’t charge for CarPlay (can’t speak to Android), so I’m unsure what you’re referring to.
For now. If I’m generous to car companies they don’t want to be beholden to a third party duopoly. If I’m not then they want to monetise with typical surveillance capitalism.
Oh, that old canard: “yeah, but just you wait!” I live in the present, and I’ll deal with the facts as they are today, not some hypothetical future offered up to win an argument.

What recourse (if any) do owners have if that happens?
It's not that bad, unless you don't have a backup way of getting into your car handy. You create a new account and associate your car with it. Many people have been bitten by this, it's a common thread on related forums. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/ford-suspending-acco... I don't understand Ford, VW, etc. They make these nice cars that are just unusable junk because of their software.
But they built up a huge amount of momentum with how they’ve always done things. They didn’t care about software, we know about that from the terrible infotainment systems out there.
Learning that needs changing and the old method can’t be bent to work has been a very hard lesson.

Makes sense for car companies to keep options open.
