I know my Ford just has a data toggle. Turn it off and it stops sending and receiving data from the cloud.
But stuff stops working when I do that. The traffic, and app stuff all need it I think. Gps has a toggle too but it just seems to turn off the map stuff.

If they don’t get benefits from the data, why won’t spend money putting in the features

It probably need to be regulation. It’s not a space competition alone will work for. Very few consumers will choose one car over another due to privacy options.
