I pretty much guarantee they won't sort out the issues. It's been 2 years or more since Bkool released a Sim update which screwed with their whole setup. My Kickr went from being ok on Bkool to pointless with a massive lag at start of races. Their own trainer went from being to cheat the system by on off sawtooth technique to dead stops on transition from decline to incline . Then there was the sticky plaster of blue speed numbers . We won't mention the wildly inaccurate power and speed rradings
Here is the video of my Kickr trying to get off the line hitting 700W with abysmal
accelerationin in speed

I think BKOOL(like the others), having seen Peleton's success are all trying to get their customers to move to a "walled garden" business model. I think that's the logic of the Smart Bike as a product. Across the field though, over the coming years, if all of your equipment and simulator are the same brand I suspect you're going to be looked after, but if you mix and matching the support is going to be close to zero.
