Google has a pretty good legal team. Their developer ToS that absolves them of any sort of liability for anything. So this means VW is just being lazy and not seeking legal protection.

This is... obviously not true?
If you could (somehow) meaningfully damage a car via the app, do you think VW wouldn't be liable because of the Google Play developer ToS?
My point was that Google would not be liable. VW cannot evade liability from app misbehavior by using Google Play Protect, so why do they do it?

Maybe they rather be lazy and be able to shift blame, even without much legal recourse.
