It is a possibility we are aware of, also given other instances of the fight of totalitarian or perverse or counterdignified drives of all colors against tools.

But the real fundamental risk I see is that of forgetting the principles of ownership, when circumventions become more possible (like in this case). For example, if cars started behaving insanely and unofficial patches will become available, that would soften the need for a principle "my car must behave seriously: my car must not have advertising modules" etc. and "I must not need to patch my car because of the manufacturer's malicious and vile practices".
