I mean that is sure again lot of work for no gains from the goverment side for a problem that is not a problem. Meaning almost all modern cars stock program only meets the regulations in the official drive cycle. In normal driving you are not using those parts of the maps much so why on earth its now super important to use the stock files that wont meet any standards for most of the time anyhow?

Also I havent seen a system or car that cannot be made to look normal even its not. I know the hassle from normal car inspections that it takes one day to make it registration ready and one day after inspection to make it work again like it should. All the work to get a fresh stamp for your car. There are easier ways to get fresh stamps than swithing parts back and forth, but who needs that knows them already or will find ways to make it work also in the future.
