The coverage of this on Jalopnix has had a few comments that this is technically all ready the case in California mostly due to CARB and everywhere else in the US thanks to the EPA - illegal to tamper with emission control devices - doesn't stop the rolling coal brotrucks.
A way around it, is the use of open ECUs but as they're not CARB or EPA approved, good luck with that.
I believe Jay Leno has a few cars with purely mechanical control systems that have AC and radios fitted. Though I believe the techs that can work on mechanical EFI are down to being able to be counted on one hand with fingers left over.
