This appears to be a system that GM would be capable of putting into EVERY car they make with much less effort than any other carmaker's system.

Then why don't they already do it ?

It's not about all the great things they could possibly do.
It's about what they actually do.

GM repossessed then crushed their game-changer.
Honda and Toyota put theirs on the showroom floors.
