When you make a general statement, it covers all and is making assumptions.
It is NOT dealers that make out from NHRA and SFI. What do you think happens to unsold product that is either to close to expiration to sell or has expired? Do you think that RCI makes out selling the platinum belts with a 1 time free recertification? Do you think the guys that have the SFI approved diapers will be out if/when SFI decides they are only good for a few years when they have inventory that may become outdated?
You want to point fingers then start with the SFI committee and then look at NHRA. It is the dealers and manufacturers that lose money when some of these ignorant changes take place.
