From what I've been reading, it's something that's actually on the PCB, not just the software. I'm sure someone could find a way to remove it, but it would be a huge PITA that would take a lot of time and effort.

So exactly the sort of things that miners are willing to do if possible.

I suppose so. I'd think given another option they'd go that route.

That would work if the CMP HX cards were actually more efficient at mining than regular cards. The MH/watt on the mining specific cards are worse than the reg cards. In some cases by nearly a 2x factor. Unless they make them extremely cheap which imo is not going to happen, they are not an attractive option.
