This is like banning usb cables

If USB cables were used almost exclusively for illegal and just generally anti social behavior.

I'd never heard of this thing, and it does sound fun, but this was the use case list from the paragraph calling it a "humble hobbyist device" doesn't come across as very defensible:

People can use them to change the channels of a TV at a bar covertly, clone simple hotel key cards, read the RFID chip implanted in pets, open and close some garage doors, and, until Apple issued a patch, send iPhones into a never-ending DoS loop.

But also agreed on fuck those car companies that just don't care and would rather weaponize the government than try to fix anything (without a subscription fee of course). Anti social behavior forced Kia to change their shitty grift of a product so 🤷
