I mean… the subscription is just for internet service and it’s really cheap. But yeah, I get it. It’s quite dumb that they don’t just support the standard because “they’re different”
I remember a Telsa sale rep telling me “Telsa’s software was better.” In the parking lot I proceeded to show them how much better voice control on in my CarPlay vehicle was with media, messaging, etc.
There are many things that Telsa’s experience is absolutely better at, but when it comes to voice control and integration with a phone’s OS, their software still feels dated.

It’s also not required unless you want realtime traffic or data for audio streaming.
You’re can still do most things without the small monthly fee
Yeah, but to be fair, it’d be quite a hassle without it solely because they don’t support car play/android auto
For music? You could use Bluetooth, or attach an SSD full of music. Or simply hotspot to your phone and use the built in music apps.
Personally I think $10 per month for unlimited data (audio and video streaming) is a steal.
