Perhaps they'll be fined 1/4 day's profits and carry on like nothing happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bingo. The fines for these behemoths are pathetic. “I know what will work, let’s shake them down for their lunch money!”

What could work is to impose a daily progressing fine until the firmware change Is reversed and 3rd party ink Is allowed again.
