you are so right man. i also wonder the same but haven't really know of any consumer grade setup that comes with such a self-service type calibrator. :(
I am using a Marantz AV8802A processor at home and it does a phenomenal job at learning and automatically applying the corrections needed for my HT. Quote:

I never had any sound deadening material applied when i was using the OEMAudio+... never thought about it, and yet it sounded so good when i was playing hi-res via an external DAC via AUX in my 2019.
but this time, I spent two days in just applying the Noico mats in the door panels etc ... just so i have no regrets later. one thing for sure is that the doors (when I knock on them lol) sound solid. the quality of the door metal feels like my old 99-LTD 3rd Gen - Solid :). most car audio installers online recommended putting the mats around the speakers at least and also put Fast-rings so that no sound can escape from the speakers.... so I did that. will know how good it it once everything is done.

Nor sure where you could mount that. Only thing that comes to mind is the center console? Depending if you have a 4wd. If you don't, next to the gear selector there is a ton of room. A vertical mount?
on a different note, why wouldn't you rather go dsp route? Helix sells modules you can add to HI-res aux in to the dsp.2 and dsp.3. Think minidsp takes an aux/toslink and spdif. They can both integrate with the factory system as well |

Im not sure of your system configuration, but if you are using passive crossovers with the mid and tweeter then you wont be able to properly align and EQ the drivers separately. This is only possible with an all active setup. Meaning each speaker has its own channel on the amp. Using passive crossovers severely limits actual tuning ability.

i am going with what Sony recommends from a components and connections point of view. Will be using passive cross overs however willing to draw two new wires just for the tweeters (killing the cross over module if its not optimal) to make a straight active connection. in comparison to the attached diagram, i will have identical setup for the front and the rear though. it will take me some trial-error to get everything optimally tuned. thx Input Connections - Sony XM-GS4 Operating Instructions Manual [Page 6] | ManualsLib |

So uhhh, yeah, your project is a little beyond what I have in mind for upgrading my stock system next year but if you work at a car audio shop in Toronto I'd appreciate a PM on where that is as I'd rather employ someone like yourself to be peeling back my interior with this kind of expertise & familiarity than some dude who is rocking a Civic out back with the entire hatch crafted out in subs, plexiglass and LED. Not that it doesn't take skill to do that either but I'm sure you understand what I mean. Cheers...
