You would still need someone to manufacture the thing (Yoggie wouldn't give a
discount on theirs if you re-flashed it) and then mass production comes into
play. You could probably clone it indeed, but then again, at least for the
moment, it's Windows-only and it's a case of proprietary S/W (e.g. traditional
AV binaries) that protect a proprietary O/S. It just diverts some work to an
off-board circuit. Linux doesn't need this unless you take the insurance
company's attitude and promise people hell unless they shell out some money.
