I tend to be a little less cynical about these things and believe they have their reasons. For instance, if the reason there is a high price is because it reduces modifications and reduces paperwork on their desk then that is one thing, but if it results in more illegal modifications then the rationale needs to change.
I bring up marijuana again, even though I don’t smoke it…they legalized weed, but then they overtaxed it, so street weed is apparently still cheaper to produce and sell enough to maintain an illegal market. If they hadn’t been so aggressive then the illegal market probably couldn’t compete enough to justify the risks. Similarly, a legal and feasible path to legal modifications would really cut down on illegal modifications. Ultimately, EVs will make these changes mostly unnecessary.
