Seems like they'll run into 'right to repair' issues, where they'll need to replace much of the electronics to get the proper access.

There is already a large market of jailbroken and aftermarket ECUs as well as alternative firmware for tractors because of this. If it gets popular and stays legal, people will find a way around it.

Right, aftermarket, or make it yourself, is what I'm talking about. Your ability to tune is currently limited by access, you need to get the access before you can tune, one way or another.
