yeah def they should think about improving the hard ware before making fancy systme functions like that all though it is a good idea.

It's well known that companies patent ideas to prevent manufacturers from copying that idea without paying £££€€€$$$ for a licence, even if they never intend to implement it, it's a safeguard.
It's ground I wouldn't like walking on
