Yeah I can see Car Companies being just as concerned about security holes as a Bank, maybe more so...
I do agree this seems to be overly aggressive... but each version of Android brings specifies improvements to security that goes beyond what patches offer. That said, the number I see (AppBrain) shows Android 11 at only 1%, Android 10 at 34% and Android 9 at 22%, so that's almost 57%. But I'm sure GM's client base looking for a new car and willing to pay monthly fees... is anything but average.
