Yes, that definitely has the sound of a Eurocopter/Turbomeca/EADS cash till in the background. It is not rocket science to add and certificate a software add-on and about 1,000 US$ (cost price) of actuator.
So we shall all go back to manual starts, people will occasionally burn the engine, the EC120 will get a bad reputation, and lose sales.
I think that is a little short sighted of Turbomeca.
