TBF most of these are failures and exploits on older devices.
Which are a dime a dozen across the entire industry. Security is rather difficult, especially when considering exploits and bugs.
Ofc many of these ARE the results of cut corners, though many are just a lack of security awareness or old devices with known exploits discovered long after manufacturing.
The lack of security awareness is due to them to scrooge to hire the right professionals for the job. It is 100% the result of cutting corners.
When a car is stolen, they typically get to sell another one, courtesy of the drivers insurance policy. They are incentivized to bad security.
Or built for a different market, like 90s Hondas/Nissans etc. which assumed every country was as safe as Japan when it came to car theft. Nowadays its mostly profit driven. Security is not cheap and can add it's own set of headaches (security vs convenience).
Edit: Nissan still sucked at it from what I remember hearing of those and some kias being the main target near where we lived.
