> So Shimano need some way of saying: We want to share this data with the user and with third party software companies. But we do not want to share this data with a competitor.

The bike is mine, the components are mine- I bought them, why does shimano need any way of saying where I can put my data produced by my devices?

What's next, is a fridge company going go turn off the fridge if I pup non-approved food in it, will an oven refuse to heat an unauthorised meal? Is a smart lock going to refuse to open the door if I bring in more people than my rental contract allows?

We are on a high-way to a feudal kindom and tyranny.
