Well, they do some of that. Sentry mode will disable at some point, I think 30% SOC. The car won't enable those sort of "bonus" features at low SOC but it seems that otherwise it's perfectly fine with trying to kill the HV battery to save your $200 12V battery and still be able to run the computers. That does seem to be a rather poor choice. Personally, I'd rather ruin the 12v battery and leave the main HV battery at 20% or something. I believe most other current EVs (Bolt, Mach-E, etc) do disable pretty much everything to do with the HV battery at a certain SOC so that it stays good even if that means your 12V battery has to die.
