Who is this vendor? No point in protecting their identity, if they're doing shady practices, I think it would be in the community's best interest to know. Stealing Visconti's work and now ECUTek's UI look and feel/functionality?

That is not my call. I am just a bystander. Visconti had posted some time ago in his ECUTek thread " vendor asking for logs of my tune before sending his tunes, stay classy". didn't mention any names. I personally don't know the name. I am making assumptions based on that Visconti statement and something a friend told that is totally unrelated, but adding both of them together makes sense. Nothing to look at here really. I might be COMPLETELY off in my dot connecting.

As far as I can tell, it started out that way. Hopefully the people who are actually involved in this product will eventually come on here and provide information.

I was kinda joking (see: "feels bad man")

I'm just kinda saddened by the lack of end user options for this car

No. Looks like it's a commercial product.
