Did I imply what you want is my business?

Though your other comments make it sound like you don't want a car without an immobilizer, in which case it feels like you're manufacturing something to disagree with rather than making a real argument against what I said.



> Did I imply what you want is my business?

yes. if that's not true, i retract.

what i want is:

- it's not an act of "negligence" when neither the owner nor the manufacturer choose to not include an extra security feature, even one that a majority of other cars have.

- it's nobody's business what "people ought to want". so that means an arguments based on "nobody should..." or "no rational person..." and "there's nor reason that..." and so on are invalid.

I don't think this gets to count as "extra".

I'm making a general claim about value, nothing personal. Because of that, I don't think it should matter whether wanting it is "nobody's business".

But in particular, I'm saying there's no benefit to avoiding an electronic key. We can remove the word "want" entirely. The downsides are large and the implementation cost is a rounding error. This differs from power windows and "fancy alarms".
