Good luck with the wait, I hope you get a real response vs. a canned form letter. It's universally accepted (if you consider Internet forums universal) that the target market of a vehicle dictates how much external integration is enabled. The Spark market is entry level, one where buyers would never consider spending $795 for nav integration. It's also a demographic that's completely immersed in connected technology, they would be more inclined to walk around in public naked than not have their smartphone in their hand. The corvette, impala, Silverado to SRX owner, OTOH is more inclined to want everything on one tidy package and the extra $795 is a small line item on the order sheet.
Technically there is no reason every MyLink system couldn't be fully enabled but GM is playing the numbers and the numbers say they can eek out another few hundred dollars profit from the higher end by disabling app integration and forcing you to buy their version of apps like Nav.
I agree it's BS and maybe if enough people complain they will make it available, at a cost I'm sure
