Are those developer keys different from system to system?

If not: all you need is one leaked key.

Once you get a hold of such a device, you ditch the original (limited) software, and replace it with an unlimited software.

How come this is not possible, and not simple to do automatically?

Yes, each system has a unique developer key.
