yeah especially since the whole point of ASN.1 is the agreement of the format of data structures so this means they never get the value out of ASN.1 that they potentially could. A big problem IMO is that it's hard to find a good implementation of ASN.1 compilers that will work across (sub-)systems and that as a FOSS project gets properly maintained. If this can be solved it would open up incredible possibilities such as automated grammar based fuzzing[0].
