Bryce, I agree.
However, remember that the DCS Remote commander came out in 2010, a good three to four years before any LC products even arrived in homes and seven years before the the LC universal remote arrived in 2017 and finally let users run three LC engines with one remote. The DCS Explorer also arrived in 2017 which allowed the same simultaneous three engine operation.
Also, the DCS remote commander can operate a single locomotive (or lash-up) with other command systems running on the same track. The Remote commander can always be used passively to command any engine that has the factory DCS ID of 0. You can mix and match the Remote Commander with any system as long as you provide power to the track and an engine(s) that is factory defaulted to DCS ID 0.
My nephew sometimes will use the Remote Commander with a WiFi Explorer to operate his starter sets, technically he can run up to four trains independently with the two systems together on the same track. He has even used it on my layout in conjunction with other DCS, TMCC & LC engines all running together at the same time.
