#3Would be awesome if ancillary data like ABS and airbags was standardized for all vehicles under right to repair laws then it would be easy to add

A shame it doesn't use udsoncan as a backend.
Udsoncan is pretty well done and indirectly support doip which is going to be ubiquitous in those new software defined vehicles..

#5Newb question, can I use this to change something in the configuration of the car? I have parking sensors that are absolute garbage (overtriggering all the time), and I would like to permanently turn them off. The turn off button works only for a moment.

No, that would involve coding, and that is vendor specific. You can look for your car manufacturers diagnostic tools, eg mercedes star diag, or vagcom.

Why should safety critical systems be able to be modified by a non-professional? Earnest question

For an application that is limited to stadardize services doip will only matter for future EVs. Anything with ICE will continue to provide data on CAN.

Could be read-only in OBD, and need special tool for modification. Also, security through obscurity is never good.
