I hope that's how it eventually turns out, but as written the NPRM makes it virtually impossible for an owner to install Remote ID in an existing airplane. You'll need to be approved as a "UAS Producer", do some kind of system-level testing, and keep records. You'll have to pay for access to an industry standard so you can issue your aircraft a serial number. And you'll have to open you shop to FAA inspection upon request.
