This is such extremely poor engineering that it throws me into a rage. There is nothing to prevent them from installing the update in the background progressively while driving and then just switching to the new version in one swift atomic operation (like changing the name of a directory) when it's ready
There's two major things limiting them actually. Bad software developers and using the barest possible minimum on processors and RAM to run the systems.
We both know that this will never happen. For the same reason why you can get a 300k$ car, and have an infotainment system that runs at 3fps. They don't have any incentive to make it run better

I wonder if cut backs on the processing power had any relation to the chip supply chain issues over the past year or two?
Probably has more to do with the extreme penny pinching most auto manufacturers do

That's additional work. Easier to tell people to run the engines.
Backup cameras are mandatory by federal law. If your device is updating when you put the car in reverse then that wouldn't be allowed.
It won't be, if it's done right.
