What happens if it's insecure and allows a bad actor to take control of planes?
You could crash a plane into the ground and nobody on board could do a thing about it.
You could crash every plane into the ground at once.
Maybe that's preventable by more automated safety systems that override if you're going to crash, but there are other equally bad options and I doubt we could block them all. Flying planes out over the ocean until fuel runs out, for instance.
