For 99.9999% of the driving public owning a reader is a complete waste of time and money.

Oh I don't know about that. To me that's either a $70 "Diagnosing Fee" somewhere, or a $20 bluetooth dongle on Amazon plus Torque Lite. If all the code means is "you forgot to tighten the gas cap" then I think most people can pull that off. Bonus if it's just "little stuff" a few times throughout the life of the BT dongle. They might also accidentally learn a few things and fewer people might get ripped off at sketchy garages in bad situations.
Just a thought anyways, I know most people are way too lazy to bother.
