Zeiss has a fw update --> toit lenses includes phase detect support

What I cannot believe is that Zeiss does not have a way to update their lenses in the field..this is stupid in this day and age. Quote from Zeiss website..

"Updating the firmware:
Please send your lens to ZEISS for firmware upgrading. It is not possible to perform this update yourself with a firmware download.

Please pack your lens carefully and send it together with a completed copy of our delivery note to the ZEISS Service address nearest to you. Please note that we can only process your order when it is accompanied by a correctly completed delivery note."

Sony uses an app to install their fw updates from the computer via USB connection.. But Fuji does it via sd card. Sigma has a USB Dock to handle not only af micro adjustments but also fw updates! When a camera path is not available. I wonder if Sony and/or Fuji is not playing nice w/ Zeiss or is this is just a rather stupid policy/design where the flash chip inside the lens can only be updated via an external station (very old school btw).
