I grew up as a car enthusiast during the transition to things being computer controlled, and for car modifying purposes it was fantastic. Relatively simple to plug my laptop in, monitor air fuel ratios, make adjustments as I see fit. Didn't have to rely on any third party or anything. However more rececnt trends see OEMs trying to prevent you from doing this kind of thing, in the same way that Apple, John Deere, and others try to prevent you from repairing or modifying or repairing your own hardware. This makes me very sad, because the future should be a utopia for people who whish to repair or modify their own hardware and instead we head towards dystopia, for no good reason!
