TBF you can turn on an ICE car and let it warm up a bit before you drive it. Some ICE cars also allow you to remotely pre-start or there are after market options so you can use an app to do exactly that. Hell, Russian far east they simply leave the car on for the cold months.
It’s just that it’s incredibly wasteful/polluting.
IIRC you can fit an ICE vehicle with an electric engine block heater which will use mains electricity to heat the water and circulate it through the engine. So you run an extension cord out to your car, leave it plugged in and turn it on half an hour before you leave.

Which actually makes it illegal in some countries, too

Yep it’s what people in northern Sweden have been doing for probably at least 40 years now.
But you cannot do that in the garage (unless you like huffing exhaust fumes).
You can’t open a garage door remotely? I can.
My grandpa would do that back in the sixties. Luckily some things do change.
