I get where you're going with this. At the same time, I am reminded of the Kia Boyz incidents - where the immobilizer was pretty much expected on every new car, and Kia had decided to maximize profits on their low end models by just omitting that feature. It would be like if you built a new house and decided not to install smoke alarms. (Except, of course, this is regulated.) And yea, regulations right? Why should we regulate stuff like that anyway? :P
