But Elecraft doesn't have to get a new type approval from the
FCC every time they change the firmware. The post I quoted
(included below) indicates that the Japanese manufacturers need
to get approval from JARD whenever they want to change the
firmware. Having the expense of jumping thru a bureaucratic hoop
would certainly act as a disincentive.

This situation might contribute to the reasons we don't get continuous product
improvement on our
Japanese radios the way we do from Elecraft.

We know the firmware of KX-3 is currently
