In the bikes they're mostly aimed at preventing tank slappers/death wobble. I have a dampener on my bike myself, but it still allows me to countersteer as harsh/rapidly as I want, and that means crashing into a railing or a cliff wall if I overshoot.

No technology prevents the crash, they just lower the chance of it happening accidentally (like, say, ABS or DCT). I can remove almost all of the guardrails on my bike choosing more aggressive riding mode.

Countermeasures to the accidentally allowing a malware to "do something" already exist and were described in the original article. The comment I was responding to wants a removal of the whole capability, hence my cases.
