...but the tools should be available for anyone just like you can go buy a wrench and anyone should be allowed to use them either as a business for their customers needs or as an individual.

Wow this is so offbeat that I can't resist before heading off.
Your post and expressed experience seems to be all about the simple aspects of the power train control (and the tenor of your comments is as in non recent vehicles). If you were to read the second round of comments to Section 1201 as I have suggested (yes I know it is much more fun to not know the facts before complaining) and seek some knowledge of recent vehicles you will find that the concerns are actually very little to do with the engine and transmission and their ECUs in the dated at least decade old terms you see them in. And even less to do with the spanners you keep mentioning.
You give the impression that you quite happy that cars sharing the road with you may have modified lane keeping systems, modified adaptive cruise control or modified stability control, even if those are performed by owners who claim expertise, as you seem to do for yourself, because they belong to an amateur car club
? Reading your post I can understand why they are called "petrol heads".
You seem to be saying it is owners' right to fiddle as they please and to hell with the consequences to other people.
You also reference Diapdealer's response to my earlier comment about the manufacturers wanting to control the nut behind the wheel - I suspect that the inference of that was not understood by you (exercise your mind on lane control, adaptive cruise control, driverless cars, etc. - things not to be found in 1971 Chev's).
