The chinese can create good looking and useful UIs and they can even go deeper in the stack.

The infotainment is just a small part of a car. It's the thing you interact with, sure but it's just the tip of the iceberg.
in every case I know of moving to qt greatly increased the quality of the ui. Though touchscreens in a car still suck everywhere.
cheap electronics will stand up to use in a car for years - something the fastest computers often fail at. I'm under NDA so I can't give more details.
Those cheap often boot instantly while more powerful ones often need a minute by the time everything is initialized.
