I think you misunderstood what they are doing. They are dropping both Carplay and Android Auto, the Android Equal of carplay.
Instead they are making the car platform based on Google Automotive with the play store so you can install any app you want natively.
Their argument is that they want to make the internal software as good or better. I'll remain open minded as well..but TBH I fully expect almost all car makers to do this. No sane company would spend billions making a product and then let some other company overlay over it and make all the money.
