Good for MA. But this ‘solution’ throws the baby out with the bath water. Let’s hope reason returns soon. If I buy a car do I have access to its data? I’d hope so. There are standardized OBD connectors and data streams for 20 years now. There was a situation years ago where a major DSLR camera maker wanted their new image storage format to be secret and proprietary and require you to use only their software to access your photos! How absurd is that? It didn’t last long and now we have standard raw image formats like Adobe DNG. Similar story here. I should be able to access maintenance data on my own car when I want to, like before or during a long trip in the desert. That’s a safety issue. I want more than the Check Engine light.
