The software might bitch at you that it's not in the position the software left it when it shut off or it'll do some calibration routine and find that the brake pad "grew" and complain about that but you can almost certainly clear that up much more easily/cheaply than buying the software that makes the caliper screw itself backwards for new pads.
Furthermore, look at that price point. They clearly don't care about screwing the DIYer because that price point is a non-starter. They care about screwing the chain tire and lube type place for which that stuff isn't an option because "troubleshoot it" doesn't scale to a "we hire teenagers off the street" type business.
Yeah, it sucks, but this is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to stupid crap OEMs do.
