I expect John Deere copyright lawsuit will have a big impact on how free one will be to update the models. I can see weed updates as a form of IRL DLC

Yep. John Deere will collect all of the recognition data and not allow their customers to see anything except high-level statistics (for an additional fee). Then they'll use it to train next year's model and charge for the upgrade.
