GM claims this way the smart software will be more integrated with the car’s hardware… which sounds ridiculous to me.

They likely want to go the Tesla route: features people have to pay multiple times for, rented features, recalls via software update, etc. I believe investors rewarded them when they made this announcement. Everyone should know that in most cases what's good for investors is bad for customers.
