Personally, I still prefer Android Auto (i.e. phone projected onto car screen) to Android Automotive (Android built into the car infotainment system). My phone gets way more updates than my car, and it's cheaper to buy a new phone once it stops getting updates.

I have the same sentiment towards smart TVs vs plain old "dumb" TVs + a streamer.

Android Automotive (the car OS) does support phone projection (Android Auto and CarPlay).

From what I’ve seen in reviews of cars that have it, Automotive is pretty solid, and I’d take an EV that had it as long as CarPlay were an option. (So no GM for me).

They can’t gather data from my use of the built-in apps if I don’t use them.

Mines a dumb TV plugged to the HDMI port on an old laptop that has Linux and Plasma Bigscreen installed

I've been hearing a lot about this Linux thing. Should I switch?

Yes. Try Ubuntu. Some people keep bad mouthing it, but it’s the most approachable one for beginners, which is part of why it’s being criticized.

Use Mint. It's Ubuntu without the corpo BS.

Most of the world doesn't buy the most expensive iPhone or Galaxy device every 1-2 years. There will always be less expensive models sold.
