Theres only some games they can add it to, And there will also be a limit of how many games it can be enabled on at a time since its taking up nand space.
AP2.5 is a failed attempt to stop backups unless they find the way that the challenges are getting ripped from the disk and block it that way but then you still have the old drives that dont support it or a firmware can be made but it wont be live safe.
It takes up negligible space, and they can always rotate the games through every few months, even if it's just the popular games. I don't see why they can't simply include an encrypted challenge table on each disc anyway, without taking up nand space. I predict they will increase the challenges used at least every 6 months. This will require reburning/re-buying your games every few months. That will get old pretty quick.
They have enough challenge slots to do this for 20 years+, and they can always increase it.
You cannot use old drives/firmware as the latest dash knows which drive you should have and will block anything else.
I don't think they will be able to block the AP2.5 extraction, as they are simply intercepting the challenge/response. However, they can make the challenges occur at 1hr, 2hr, 3hr, .... 6hr etc so that they become impractical to extract. It is already very time consuming to extract, it will become even more difficult to extract as more challenges are added.
AP2.5 may seem defeated at the moment, but believe me it is a difficult protection, and this will become apparent over the next year or two.
