It still baffles me that the official response from the IOTA foundation is that the vulnerability was inserted intentionally as copy-protection.

And even more baffling that their flagship partner Bosch does not seem to have problem with this practice.

I doubt that any of the decision makers at Bosch have enough theoretical knowledge to be able to form any sort of opinion about it.

Well, as IOTA targets embedded devices (I guess the reason Bosch is interested) they should have enough knowledge to form an opinion about transaction sizes:

"transactions in IOTA are 10KB (in contrast, Bitcoin transactions are on average 600B)" [1]
