chances are small, but people no longer will be able to update their device to:
PRS-505 Updater 1.1.00.18041.exe

Nope, this trick just allows you to force reflashing the firmware. The actual version flashed stays at 18040.
As for your other points, Sony could have definitely made our life harder by disabling the autorun hook (and they actually claimed they've done so when 505 was announced) but I guess they see that this option makes the Reader more popular and might actually increase sales.
