Actually, they did comment, it was a very subtle stab at the fact that this company enforces built-in obsolescence by embedding tracking in their parts, akin to what HP does to ink cartridges.
The gps isnt the issue there tho. That part is important for its function. But that data going back to the manufacturer, thats the real issue.
