Cars, ICE or EV, all have a shelf life.

I get that it's def tough if you're someone that wants all the latest tech in a car and is used to the 3-4 yr lease turnaround, you're going to go EV, esp in the luxury segment, no matter what.

But even when all cars were ICE, how many enthusiast options were there? It was always a slim minority, and yes it'll become even more slim but I still think there we'll end up in a place with a few really solid enthusiast ICE only options available with a crapload of SUVs, Minivans, Sedans, super cars, HyperCars and entry level vehicles that are EVs.

2030 in my opinion is also way too soon for the majority of people to go full EV.
