Clearly if a killswitch is going to become mandatory then current keyless entry and ignition technology would still be adapted to work with it. 1 sober person with lungs? Why wouldn't that person just drive? you raise good points, but they're all easily and logically explained. as with all tech- there are ways around it. 45 seconds? maybe if you’re an electrical engineer. the average consumer can’t change a tire, let alone wire around an ignition kill switch. incompatible? says who? it’s software.

Not to mention all you need is 1 sober person around with lungs to get around it. These are the kinds of things that get lots of support by a few very narrowly-focused groups, but ultimately fail when exposed to the public at large.
