Well, the point was, that it is not manufacturers that offer the upgrade later. They can't, even if they wanted to, because the different software results in different CO2 (for example), thus different "fine" that is paid at the time of sale. If they were able to offer such a thing, it would be a workaround against the environmental fees.
It is being done by some guy in a garage with a suitable cable and firmware image. Of course, you are losing warranty when he does that. It's no different than the chipping that was done 20-30 years ago.
