Every other manufacturer should take a page out of Toyota's book - to do a cabin air filter in my wife's 2017 corolla hatch requires no tools, the glove box doesn't have to be completely removed, and no electrical connections need to be disconnected. It's like a 5 minute job; Japanese efficiency at it's best. My Subaru was a nightmare to change...
