I find it stupid as hell that there are conditionary alerts and changed UI when in "car" mode on phone apps, as well as Bluetooth pairing being disabled while driving.

I get it, they want you to not use the apps while driving. But you know what's even more distracting than messing with a device while driving? Trying to troubleshoot unexpected UXs while driving
