There already are competitors with less aggressive software, but building massive machines like Deere does requires a lot of capital. Kubota's largest tractor is like 200 HP.
My understanding is that the Clean Air Act now largely requires manufacturers to ensure consumers can't modify the software to run if it fails emissions checks, but I haven't researched the law myself.
