Although I don't for one minute disagree with you and they have really gone for the HGVs and it will be cars next, it may take some time to get to Agri and plant.They probably wont, what would happen is it will be made illegal for someone to carry out the work to delete it, with heavy fines for anyone court. No one will want to take that risk so you wont be able to get it done in the first place.]
For them that already have it done, they will be fine UNTILL there is another problem on the machine were by the dealer or who ever is fixing it has to reset or update software or replace ECU's etc then you will loose any modifications and this could include things like EGR valves and DPF filters etc too. As the dealer will only be able to repair the machine back to factory standard and YOU will then get charged accordingly to reinstate these mapped out stuff like EGR and Alblue etc etc. Mean while your adblue system wont have liked being left unused so is likely to need repairs more than just removing the remap etc all of which will be chargeable and if you dont like it or cant afford it then the dealer will not be able to do the work legally.
Many will laugh BUT i would bet money on it this will come in to force at some point both in Agri and plant/construction, HGV and cars.
to some extent is already is in place for HGV and cars i think.
Think back to the VW emissions scandal and how deep that rabbit hole got and wide spread!
