No, we are suggesting that the automobile market is one of the few industries that isn't a monopoly yet, which is why BMW couldn't get away with it.

But also, the automobile market is getting more concentrated so it won't be long until the 4 companies left legally collude to force this stuff on us. Just like every other industry.
