The question is what not "ignoring this" entails.
Essentially we would need to file a complaint with the respective authorities
which afaik even the companies that are directly affected by this (see for
example
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general/maps-android-auto-t3339439)
have not done.
As we don't have a direct business interests in this (as in no revenue from
such business), the OSMF would have to team up with market players that are
actually affected by the situation. All possible, but rather unlikely to
actually happen, not to mention that any result from such an action would be
way down the road substantially after the exit plans of any likely commercial
partner.
