The problem is getting the calculator registered for exams

This is a viable issue that forces a choice on the manufacturers, which you aren't addressing. Of course it would be ideal if they had a second version (perhaps in a different color) that was fully hackable, and had some hardware difference, but that would be costly for them and hard to police.

Cheating is sadly a massive problem. I was shocked to learn from friends who did architecture in college that smart students would hide their final project models (physical models of buildings) inside ceilings and the like in the days leading up to presentations and judging, to prevent rivals from smashing them.
