Since they stopped European and I think domestic (Japan) sales, my gut says they'll just leave it alone again. It sells. And these features do add complexity and cost... The infotainment makes sense ONLY if it makes their supply chain simplify (only one model across the whole brand).

I just got through a winter without heated seats and the fabric is great...and I wore driving winter gloves to deal with the steering wheel and just leave them in the car...all problems solved. USB A to C adapters are like 5 dollars each or less on Amazon and do what I need if I actually need it....and the carplay has been flawless...none of these are actually things I think matter. I had winter tires (Pilot Alpin 5) and used the car - the seats were great stock.

If one really wanted heated seats, the stereo installer guy I use (comes to you, did my accord autodimming/homelink mirror) could install aftermarket seat heaters....or an upholstery shop.....just saying. Not the first time this has been wanted by a consumer I suspect.... Me, not a big deal and certainly not something to worry about.

Now we have the original driver spec model. (jk)

Note, I would have a professional (insured/bonded) do it and just pay them for a few hours of labor...to avoid issues.... but fyi on youtube:
