I doubt if anyone on this forum has definitive knowledge of the complexity involved in firmware updates, as to what can or what can 't be practically accomplished.

With the extreme intricacy of modern cameras where many functions have to work in conjunction with each other, they have to avoid adding something that improves one function while diminishing another.

Are you aware that Canon, Panasonic and others already do this ? For several years now.
On a limited scale, selling optional features .
It wouldn't be much different as a regular business practice at a larger scale. It is feasible.
