There's probably a need for legislation here. It's completely normal and vital for competition that you can make things that are (adversarially) interoperable with others in the physical realm and you can't really be stopped (as long as you don't just copy).

That's not really a thing once you involve software. It's trivial to lock things down using cryptography and constant changes, making any kind of interoperability entirely infeasible.

As far as I understand this is pretty unprecedented and very bad for an efficient market.
