This is trend is happening regardless of whether or not the wheels spin because of batteries or little explosions.

We need to push for consumer protection for all vehicles.

Yup, but it's easier to lock down an EV because they don't need to include an OBDII port (no emissions), so there's really no standards they need to adhere to. So they just remove pretty much all choice at the start so people don't get mad later when they remove features in future models.

ICE cars need to do it more slowly to properly boil the frog.
