Making these systems available to everyone is great.

Taking away people’s ability to turn them off makes them hated.

The picture used in this article is literally the button to turn the feature off.

Yeah not all cars have those, and even if there’s a button, it turns itself back on every time you turn the car on.

Allowing the driver to permanently turn it off is literally illegal.

Citation needed. What law specifies that?

It’s not literally illegal, at worst it may void your warranty.
