I think that security was the issue
If a thief can enter your vehicle without a FOB, if you have a garage they can use Homelink to enter your driveway gate or garage & from there enter an attached garage
Ram is making theft way to easy, with all of the conveniences
The Smart FOBs make theft so easy, it makes anyone with a bit of knowledge about radio waves can enter your vehicle, all they have to do is be nearby with a receiver set to the 433 Mhz frequency.
When you press your FOB button, they can record the signal that your FOB transmits, your vehicle flashes its lights or beeps its horn to tell your Fob that it is there & ready to receive any Commands, like Lock, Unlock, Blast your horn, or Remote Start.
So now the thieves know where the vehicle is & they already have the recorded signal
I am glad that my Passive FOB only has a range of 30 feet
My garage door opener only has a range of 50 feet
My next purchase vehicle wise is going to be a Faraday box for my spare FOBs & a Faraday Pouch for my primary FOB
Of course it could wrap the spare FOB in Tin Foil or remove the battery, both block any signal being sent to the vehicles.

By the way, one of our members had his Ram stolen, he had a tracker & police caught the thieves, the device that was used to capture the signal was still in the vehicle.
Part of the device looked similar to part of a Ram Infotainment system
For some unknown reason the thieves were in possession of something that looked like part of a radio, it was under the seat when the police searched the vehicle
I had to edit the original post, to sort of correct my post
