You're assuming their goal is to "stop" every hacker, it's not. It's to secure this revenue stream for ag tech farm manufacturers, which they've done. They don't care if a handful of hackers fix a few tractors; if any get too big the boot comes down hard and they're ruined by fines and jail time. These changes are meant to block serious competition, by ensuring the vast majority of farmers will need to get their stuff repaired in official shops, which they still will.
