And - it's COMPLETE AND UTTER GARBAGE (compared to every other car with LDM/LDW I've driven).

As stated above, complex and not worth it. My Acura moves the actual steering wheel to keep the car in lane. My maxima uses the brakes to kind of try to keep it in lane. By kind of try I mean it will apply brakes to steer it back over some, but depending on how quickly you cross over the line it may or may not actually return you to the lane.
I found the braking forces me to take action to correct which perhaps is what Nissan intent was. The other part that is perplexing is that it is always off when you start the car, if there is a default to always on I haven’t found it. But when you get in the car you have to press a button every time to turn it on.

The Nissan just seems like it has an annoying nervous tick (vibrating steering wheel).

I don't have the lane departure warning in my 18 maxima, but my wife has it in her 2020 honda passport. It is the worst. Fortunately honda let's you adjust the sensitivity so it makes it a little more tolerable, but 99% of the time we drive with it off. The blind spot monitor though I do find very useful and I'm annoyed that the 18 maximas don't have it unless you go up to the SL trim, and I have an SV.

... Nissan really didn't give a sh-t about this car.

I appreciate Lindros comments however I have not had the issues he has endured. My 2019 Platinum was delivered a month or two later than his and has held up well so far but that is with only 14000 miles on the clock so far. My dislike is pointed to the lane departure system which offers a lame steering wheel vibration at the 1st level and then a braking mode if you stay too far out of your lane for very long. Just a sloppy cheap way to do it. What does work for me is the blind spot lane warning lights and alarm (providing you use your turn signals when changing lanes. The 360 degree birds-eye view is the main reason we love this car. Something just now appearing on other car lines.

Maybe you mean "non-luxury cars"?
Honda doesn't have it reliably across their cars. But our Acura MDX did.

I would say the Honda/Acura GPS system was the most user-unfriendly. Did not realize they have the 360 views?
Back when I got my 2016 Platinum in November 2015, the 360 camera view was not very common and that system was good enough for us to trade for the new 2019 Platinum.

I had this on my 2016 Acura RLX.
But I hate the dual infotainment screens. That car lasted about 8 weeks in our garage.

Nissan may add the pro-pilot feature in the Altima/Rogue which would fix all of your complaints. However, I doubt we will ever see a 9th generation Maxima. Nissan did not lay out a path for this car in its longterm model lineup. I can see the Altima going up-market once the Maxima is discontinued. You can expect to see 40th Anniversary edition of the Maxima next year, but that maybe it's last year of production.
