Because the insurance companies have big muscle and you know they'll use it. I can see all maintenance being done at company approved locations, with secret proprietary software through factory sealed ports.

As an organization representing 2.5 million California agriculture jobs, the California Farm Bureau gave up the right to purchase repair parts without going through a dealer. Farmers can’t change engine settings, can’t retrofit old equipment with new features, and can’t modify their tractors to meet new environmental standards on their own.
