So, if most EVs have such terrible software, how come most people are not complaining as much about ICE cars? They are mostly made by the same people, and they are all full of software which needs to work pretty well for a safe comfortable experience.

Guys, being the husband of the actual owner of this EX30, I agree both of the above statements. Your both correct IMO, I'm simply paying the price as a early adopter. To be honest I like fast cars but miss the ICE feeling that I get from my ICE car, that's also had numerus software issues over it's 7 year life. I'm in Mrs BarrowBoy's ear for an upgrade, and funny thing is she thinks the EX30 is a great car (which in the most part is for a EV.)...wish me well.....lol

Because most manufacturers use the generational technology change to also do an architecture upgrade, revamping the complete platform from top to bottom, HW and SW is completely new.

That is not the case. In older pre-2020 platforms, the SW was written by an army of suppliers of the HW modules. Each HW module was a blackbox, as long as the OEM (car manufacturer) was concerned. The OEM only managed all interfaces, and tried to get a coherent system out of a myriad of coordinated black boxes. The obvious inefficiencies with this arch were not a problem until EVs used better electronics archs, lead by Tesla.
Most manufacturers now are getting their hands dirty, and setting up completely new software teams to write completely new software to a completely new arch, with new kind of cooperation with their HW suppliers, most apply this only to EV platforms, some also revamp ICE platforms because shared stuff...
That is a difficult transition.
