In my opinion, every manufacturer of a programmable device should not be allowed to prevent the buyer from reprogramming it.

I would not buy a FIDO2 token if it allowed anybody to reprogram it, including me. If you managed to make selling me such a device illegal, then may a pox descend on your house.
