It makes sense, because they do not want you to have a complex component that will give you a terrible advantage. Why not buy another IFI controller? You could double your PWM outputs and inputs.

A $300 bushing is not going to give you a ridiculous advantage, or at least in the scope that a $300 electronic component might.

Plus, there is a limit on bushings--- $3500.
