You could also start with the realization that the car is "working as

Just not what you want to do....go 160mph (for example).
Call it what you want, it is designed to not work if you want to do
many of the things you expect an operating system to do. And it is
just as annoying as the car parts that are designed to make it
impossible to use 3rd party maintenance replacements.
I can see why you get some things wrong....
You or I could start our own. But it is just like any other 3rd
party enterprise. It is not expected, or mandated that they work
together.
Not expected to work togther... Yes that's a good description.
If you think they should...then you are operating under a flawed
assumption.
I think we agree that the design is wrong.
I think you should refrain from concluding what you think I think.
OK, I'll just repeat what you said: "It is not expected or mandated
that they work together".
Those 2 statements are not the same... If you think they are...well....
