Personally, I think one of the biggest hurdles for technology would be that if it were more repeatable than human graders, and I don't think that is a stretch, that it would virtually eliminate re-subs. Not good for PSA's business model.

OK, carry on. Back to discussion of the cards.
The part highlighted in bold is just one of the reasons PSA will not adopt it. That and the extra cost + time of implementation. They are all about profits.

And if it is not just oversight, negligence, ineptitude or time constraints that have produced these thousands of misgraded cards (and is something more nefarious, along the lines of favoritism or complicity) then all the talk in the world about technology won't help us a bit.

The Henri Richard Card alone should tell us it is not a lack of technology that's the problem here...
