But you would pay more for it if they had to put it in only certain models based on the packaging. They've done it with satellite radio for a long time now.

Right, so incentivize them to stop trying to reduce competition with software locks. If they can provide the same hardware for cheaper by exploiting economies of scale, that's what we should require them to do. That's what capitalism is good at doing. Software locks are anti-competitive.
