Not necessarily true in either case. If one were to find an
integrated transmitter/receiver that would work except
required input different than the TI-Protocol (I2C for example),
it might be simpler to use it instead of designing a new transmitter/
receiver pair, even if that use required software to drive the port.
Any type of functioning radio link would not be useless, although
it could be inconvenient.

Not necessarily, there would be nothing wrong with building an
application specific radio link that required software to drive it,
particularly if the software could transmit at a higher data rate
than the TI-protocol (which wouldn't be particularly suprising,
TI-protocol isn't all that fast). It just wouldn't be as convenient to
as many people.
