Feel, but EVs leave ICE in the dust. If you really wanted you could artificially introduce some rumble, kind of like how they artificially increase noise to warn pedestrians. But ICE is dead for so many good reasons.
Edit: Just to add, as someone who's lived in cities most of my life, I will not miss the constant roar of cars. Such a nuisance.

Inertia, too. Like, there's almost no reason to still use SMS style messaging. In fact Apple's decision to make their messaging largely incompatible with texting outside their ecosystem is a huge reason for everyone to just move onto a platform like Whats App (yes, I know who owns it) or even something like Slack or Discord.
But here we are. I mean hell, the phone companies were charging for texts not so long ago and we still stuck with it.
