Commercial vehicles are still fine if you can tolerate it. Might be the best option in 15 years if nothing else. I have a '19 transit van and it has no way of phoning home, the only infotainment is the one I installed. I haven't researched too deeply but I assume the transit connect line is similar and if it is I'm considering making one my next personal vehicle.

The commercial version of practically everything is better than the consumer version (or at least bullshit-free).

The reason being that a large company has negotiating power far beyond that of an individual consumer.
