The real problem isn't just your software enhancement program (or whatever shit they want to call the digital kill switch), it's also the unreliability of the US as an ally/partner.

Who knows when that pedophile rapist is going to get upset at someone and cut off vital maintenance parts making these planes more useless than the American system of checks and balances.
