And another issue, maybe not so important, but serious for some:
portability. If you travel on business and rent a car, you are usually
stuck using the cash lanes on local toll roads. Even if you have a
working transponder at home which is compatible with the local system,
you aren't supposed to try using it. The transponder is only valid for
use in a registered vehicle, which your rental car isn't.
