I can only imagine Mazda's stake in this is that the OSS project is doing something that Mazda would like to monetize. Otherwise why limit a project that's making people fell better about their car purchase?

The worst thing to happen to home automation was companies trying to lock customers into their ecosystem without greater interoperability.

Except that this library just calls the same APIs as the official app, using the user's own credentials. Any subscription-gated features would just surface through the API as they would in the app, i.e. "this operation isn't supported on your plan" etc. so there is no paywall bypass going on here.
