I suspect some of the bug issues are because FordPass, and associated software/hardware, are hooked up to literally millions of vehicles. This means, MME software updates must be thoroughly scrutinized so the changes don't mess up other shared vehicle features. This means, that any software updates on a vehicle have to be compatible with FordPass software, and it means that software updates on FordPass need to be compatible on other vehicles as well. It is kinda like playing Waca Mole, i.e. fix something over there and then some thing pops up broken over here. Let's not forget, every software upgrade also gets scrutinized for security issues / threats too, which adds more complications.
With all of the chip technology in the cars, it just makes the software process more tedious/complex/confusing, couple that with the consumer tendencies to want "cool" features, just adds to more complexity. The car companies are all scrambling to offer more and more "cool" features, driven by software. It is the sign of the times.
