If these cars continue to sell at high volumes, a shop will start selling a supercharger kit or turbo kit complete with a tune like brzedit for under $4k. Or a 230 bhp header+ overpipe kit for under $1k with tune. Its bound to happen.

Just think how many more customers Avo, Greddy, Vortech, and Innovate would have without the $900 Ecutek tax ? Think about how many mom & pop shops out there don't install these products or deal with the Twins because they don't have an Ecutek Pro license ?
You can buy a Vortech and Innovate without the ECUTek, I believe they call them tuner kits.
