i am looking for an actual reason from someone who can explain the difference between the two peices of hardware.
No one who has posted here is an actual tuner, just a bunch of forum jockeys that bought it from someone else with no actual knowledge of the products internal workings.
there are many different cables out there, i agree. however if i have a can bus cable, or a hex cable or whatever other forms of cables are out there i would love to know the actual difference between them.

you guys are like the clowns at autozone that tell people a gm ignition module wont work on a toyota truck just because your computer says so. (it does work by the way and is a much cheaper option than the toyota)
It has been stated and its really simple, the electronics in it are different, that way people(like you) arent using some other cable with their software they spent time to develop.

It covers their money and ass if someone decides they wanna use some piece of shit cable from ebay and it messes up their ecu.

It also stops other companies from reverse engineering their software/hardware.

People shouldnt have to spoon feed you that it doesnt work and justify to you why. Only their cable works with it and thats all there is to it. Either pay the money for it or not. You may as well ask why you can plug your VW ecu into the FR-S and have it work properly.
