Yes, absolutely overcomable: see liqbase for example.

Note that this is a different issue, because it's part of an SoC... Not saying they shouldn't, just that you're drawing a false similarity here.
No, the analog here is a computer with a motherboard which has onboard graphics chip features but having to buy a dedicated graphics card because I can't use the onboard one (different to the usual performance reasons).

I don't know of a single example where this occurs for any of the major manufacturers.
