Uhhh maybe they should find the time to do that then? How is “we don’t have the time” a valid excuse? Either hire more staff to do so, or sell fewer ads.

I think you’re severely underestimating how much time, effort, and resources game development takes. Especially when the devs aren’t doing it full-time.

I’m not the target audience for this to begin with, but I refuse to own a car ever again that doesn’t have Android Auto. What a bunch of anti-consumer bullshit. What are the odds GM starts charging a subscription fee to access apps on these vehicles?

React-router is client-side routing. You’re not making an HTTP request, so there’s no status code to set. If you’re doing server-side rendering that’s a different story but as it stands you can’t accomplish what you’re wanting and frankly I’m not sure why you would want to.
