I think the main issue with this is if it makes it illegal for the tuners or companies themselves to modify the ECU.
Right now, even if its illegal for the owner to be running a certain tune, it wasnt illegal for the tuner to create the tune (all they have to do is say "Off-Road use only" or etc.)
But if it becomes illegal, it wont be the same as jailbreaking iPhones or rooting Android phones. Those are small operations run by the community and don't cost users any money. Tuners charge a lot for the work and tools involved, they're also a lot easier to track down a serve a lawsuit to.
Hopefully it wont come down to this, or at least not for all cars (IDGAF if you lock down the corolla, leave our enthusiast targeted cars alone)
