Nissan does this too. I leased a new Kicks when they came out and HATED it. Seats were terrible, car was underpowered, and some jackass decided to program the cvt to "shift" because Nissan got complaints that the car was stuck in gear. Just learn how a CVT works.
Anyways, 4 years later, I still get emails about monthly maintenance work, tow alarms, and tracking updates. I never asked for them to begin with and I guess I'm stuck with it as a VW guy now.
I mean, banded iron? The process for depositing the minerals that compose banded iron (which is still hotly debated) no longer exists.
The most widely recognized theory is that the oceans had way more iron dissolved in them early in the history of earth, and the single celled organisms that called those waters home liked it that way. Then, all those little organisms started farting oxygen EVERYWHERE. Oxygen cooled the planet, thus cooling the oceans, and was also toxic to most of the single celled organisms, so they all died when planetary levels of iron started percipitating out of the oceans. Repeat this over a billion years or so and eventually the high concentrations of co2 eating iron loving organisms all died out and we eventually wound up with the ocean and atmospheric chemistry we have today.
Obviously I'm leaving out a ton of other very important interactions along the way, but the gist of it is that this planetary phenomenon simply doesn't have the mechanisms in place today for more banded iron formations to be made today.
I think this is also true of petroleum deposits because of how fungus figured out how to break down wood fibers.
Basically for the first 100 million years of plants existing on dry land, cellulose plant fibers did not decay. There were no fungus or microbes around that had figured out how to deal with the relatively "new" (in geologic time) invention of cellulose plant fibers, and so those plant fibers built up. Over tens of millions of years, with some of those deposits of plant fibers MILES thick getting covered up, fungus eventually figured out how to digest cellulose. Since then, plant detritus decays and decomposed into dirt.
What that means is that oil deposits were formed SO long ago that they were older to the dinosaurs that eventually came along than those same dinosaurs are to humans now. The process by which oil deposits are formed was over before the first ancestor to mammals decided to try out breathing air.
