This is like asking if there is a non disturbing reason to have a custom shifter or paintjob
No way the current administration pays any attention to regulating this (unless there's speech in the ads they disagree with).
It's why I attempt to prevent all devices from connecting with the exception of my phone and computers- which I put behind barriers like pi-hole.

If that's the case, this may actually be fun. The only notification a user may get would be in release notes when updates happens.

p.s. electrek are hardcore anti-Tesla.
