The hardware is poor, the software is average, the solution is terrible. I'm not giving them more money than I have to.

Why pay more? So you can keep working that's why. For the majority of people the iLok works just fine - it just has a problem with not always playing nice with USB3 ports.
Like I said - it's the cheapest insurance one can buy. You certainly don't go without car or home owner's insurance right?
The reason the iLok has to go back is so they can recover your licenses. They're not going to release the software to do that to the open world or else intellectual property (aka software) would have no value.
You have no one to blame for being in this situation but yourself.
