I know that cracking the factory code is not an easy task, but now these guys can simply copy and paste the modified code every time they do an engine swap. They don't have to spend 18 months on each truck.

It's going to cost you around $800 and take about 2 hours of your time to retrofit an AUX switch panel. You're going to need the upfitter switches, another fuse box, and A-pillar wire harness.
The Coyote engine weighs as much as the 2.7 EcoBoost, and the MPG numbers are almost identical. Even though the 2.7 has slightly more torque compared to the 5.0 Coyote, I would trade those extra lbs-ft's for the NA V8 sound in a heartbeat.
The FI exhaust has a deeper tone compared to the OEM one. Below 2k rpm, it's not much louder than the stock exhaust. The OEM muffler hisses under acceleration, and FI has a deep growl instead – that's what my wife was not a fan of. I haven't noticed any drone though.

I liked it, but my wife didn't 😢
