"Surely the DMCA is intended to prevent people from profiting from copying things"

It has nothing to do with the DMCA, other than it was used as a tool to strongarm the car industry to pay attention to all the lobbying.

In other words: "We don't like what's going on so we'll threaten with the DMCA. Scared yet? Good, we like obedient car makers".
