As the update only affects infotainment and not critical systems, it seems like a reasonable tradeoff to me. Just because a car can fail in ways that kill people doesn't mean all parts of a car are equally critical.
Beyond that "infotainment" includes driver critical information - like the speedometer which, for many affected, means there's no working driver screen.
"Speedometer, charging, backup cameras, locks, lights, wipers, and turn signals are all still functional with the 2023.42 error."
