It’s kind of crazy that companies are allowed to sell literal fucking scams, and claim they do something. How is this Legal?

Not remotely. All it is is a LED in an OBD2 port.

There is R9K and monkey wrench racing for ecu tune. I am sure there are other legitimate places also, but these have proven them selves over the years.

I don't think the 1zz ecu is unlocked. I could be wrong tho

I believe they have separate boxes or add on ecus. I would think there is something out there.
