This made me feel very old. Too me it’s 100% logical and not a mystery - while I fully understand that it’s super-weird for people born after 1990

I think you are right and that the financial model is a total blind spot to the lawmakers. Never mind the fact that Volvo (or any other be maker) makes the bulk of its money from new car sales. Volvo used to make a lot of money from spares and repairs but that company was divested many many years ago. Now all the money is coming from new vehicle sales.
