Can anybody tell me what BMW does annually to justify $80/year for Apple CarPlay?

Seriously - Apple develops the upgrades to CarPlay and the phone delivers the experience via the the BMW's wifi/screen. The capability to support this on the BMW-side is static and paid for. It doesn't change year over year. What am I paying for?

It would be like my TV manufacturer trying to charge me an annual subscription for the built in wifi capability that allows data to be transmitted by miscellaneous 3rd party devices, to my TV.
