"Not for cars, but for everything else."
While I agree with you there are some usages where it does make sense and shouldn't be neglected, it is also worth noticing that the current consensus on Metaculus is an estimate of 6% market shares for those usages in 2030:

As a side comment however, Roger Penrose has this argument about some kind of quantum effects from microtubules in cells

(but to go as far as to say that this might be the reason in the end why consciousness is not a computation is still a whole debate however, and his theory is far from making a consensus I am afraid)
Is your first statement not a kind of strawman argument? ( https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman ) I mean, I am not vegan too but it doesn't mean I am ok with pigs crushed to death anyway. I think I see the point that you want to make though: somehow it should feel as if this minimal surgery ought to be "logically" more morally acceptable than killing animals to eat them. But don't you think morality could be just the name of a preference function deeply encoded in each individual brain and which doesn't require to be "rationally tuned"? (So that it can lead to weird irrational situations as in, I am ok with eating meat but I feel uncomfortable at the idea of killing animals)
