Ask HN: Are there any antifeature-free power tools you can still buy new?

Makita batteries have an antifeature called "Sync Lock" that will make them refuse to operate after a certain amount of time. DeWalt tools have an antifeature called "Tool Connect+" that lets them be remotely bricked through the cloud. Milwaukee tools have a similar antifeature called "One-Key". Are there any brands that don't do any of that stuff?
