I don't want the infotainment system either. Cars shouldn't have that much electronic bullshit in them. Every one I've seen has been trash. At most it should have a dock for your phone and let that be your infotainment system.
That's basically what Apple carplay and Android Auto do. However, it's nice to have independent audio settings (like fader, EQ, and balance) for the car. Big ol' GPS/map is nice too. Bluetooth controls for multiple devices. Fuel Economy and car management applications, radio... All things that I enjoy in the car that a simple phone dock would not replicate.
It could. It would just require a more robust app. You could use a tablet instead of a phone if you wanted a bigger or dedicated screen.
I manage my audio and GPS from my phone just fine. No integration with the car necessary besides an aux jack. The dash shows the fuel economy next to the speedometer. Everything else (clock, radio, maintenance due, etc) is managed through the menu buttons (physical buttons, not a garbage touchscreen) on the steering wheel.
