I mean, I'd really like to know that its just not some muppet board of directors with a sudden conscience about climate change that have decided that "oh people will still buy our product but now we are guilt free".

The disclaimers do not cover them under the law and the fines can be in the millions. The new(ish) laws say it is illegal to sell ANY product (including tunes) that affects the pollution control devices or fuel system of a vehicle. It does not say it is legal to sell them just for track use.
It is NOT just them. I am sure that Australia has or will have soon a law just like it. Every country in the world is passing similar if not identical legislation. Most of the European countries laws are probably going to be even tighter.

People are trying to counter it but they don't stand much chance.

Welcome to reality of the wave of the future.
OH and as to what's changed. The same tech that makes it so easy to create custom tunes makes it just as easy to check them. If it should be XYZ tune and they find ABC you are busted.
