I don't know, I'm no expert but opinions and requirements for safety do change with progress.
A/D filtering, etc. have nothing to do with added features. They are involved with the most basic electronics design. IMO, they were left out to aid in hitting the market as quickly as possible and to limit production time/costs since early units were built in a garage. But that limitation in the design also caused many of the headaches along the way. We don't all drive with the throttle at 1 or 0.

That said, BMS will likely have a nice unit on their hands with the G4 and Pro boards as they have embraced what should have been done from the beginning. But hindsight is 20/20...
