I don't think it had anything other to do with it wasn't a viable source of income to spend R&D to crack it lol.

Notice how within a year of the M4s release it was cracked wide open and filtered to the M5. Thats because the margins made sense with how many more customers in the m4/m3 range were willing to shop.

Not saying nobody was trying or their encryption wasn't impressive but for the best of the best to spend their time on it, I don't think it made financial sense with such a small segment of customers modding 100k+ MSRP luxury boats.
