BMW has always charged for Apple Carplay. They used to charge one time for the option, now they charge per year.
Their argument is that most of their target customers lease their cars under 3 years. At $80/year, that's cheaper than the $300 option cost. That's just marketing BS. Basically, they charge because they can.
They are not compensating for any loss of revenue.

The $300 covered the cost of the hardware, WiFi, etc. and if it didn't your math is WAY OFF $300/20 years = $15
