It has to do more with the chip shortage in the supply chain. Their longer term goal was always known a few years ago, but this chip shortage has hammered everyones production line and it'll be another 18 months until that is solved; unless another covid lockdown happens.
Removing the Sensatech dashboard has nothing to do with the chip shortage. I am fully aware of the scope of that problem, but removing options is also a way for them to cut 25% of costs per unit. I will be shocked if things come back as standard items, and not as a package.
