  More like banning USB sticks because between 2011 and 2021 KIA and Hyundai removed engine immobilizers from their car designs to save a few dollars which allowed their cars to be started by turning the ignition with literally anything.

    Not removed - never added to the US designs. They were added afterwards to models being sold in places that require them.
