From the article

The problem seems to revolve around brands that haven't acquired this licensing

It seems to just be rent seeking? Since it’s retroactive there probably isn’t a security change and malicious hardware can spoof being licensed, though this is unclear. So it probably only hurts legitimate small brands.

I’ve improved my life quite a lot but it’s hard to give advice to others.
