What I would like to see is the ability to read the real time learning that the ECU has done, then apply these corrections to the base map to create a new base map that is closer to what works for your car with your fuel at your altitude with your driving style.

That way you could get a professional to tune your car, then over time as the ECU learns and smooths things out, you can create more fine tuned maps with no risk or cost. Most dyno tuning is only done at WOT. Partial throttle drivability, especially switching from closed loop to open loop and back usually isn't addressed at all.
