Reminds me of when it was discovered that many hardware implementations used a fixed master key or random seed. Resulting in mass deployments of patches to disable hardware encryption in favour of software mode.

That's a wonderful example. My average tech friend was an early adopter of SteamOS and called me a lot about wine.

That should trigger some sort of monopoly protection. There already is a limited choice of vendors.

Imagine being on a project too big to fail. Someone might have felt inclined to tinker with the data. Happens in the science community, could happen again here.

That may be the case with older technologies but VoLTE very much is.

I suspect it would be helpful for protecting sensitive situations. Currently (at least with EMS) they call each other's cellphones for that, not ideal.
