Toyota is part of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_of_Automobile_Manufacturers

It started back in 2003 with limiting repair rights, remote connection 'features' starting with GM and Toyota, and this is just the next phase of removing full ownership after purchase of a vehicle.

If passed, the Motor Vehicle Owner’s Right to Repair Act would require automobile manufacturers to make available to car owners and repairers the information necessary to diagnose, service or repair vehicles, including all such information made available to franchised dealers. However, the coalition said it would also permit “sweeping private right of action lawsuits at a time when Congress is trying to rein in frivolous lawsuits. In addition, it would force the release of proprietary information irrelevant to vehicle repair.”
