Its safe to say the modern day motorist doesn't want/or have the skill to check or carry out their own vehicle maintenance, in some cases the car manufacturer may look upon this as a potential warranty claim issue, due to careless ownership.

Plus if these manufacturers want to copyright their vehicles to stop owners working on their own car, stop modifications, modifying suspension, ECUs and any changes to software that could lead to vulnerabilities in vehicle safety. We could suggest this is already being implemented in today's modern vehicle, hence the owner responsibility being phased out of certain tasks.
