So humor me some education, and cost aside for the moment, why is it that
CraggyAero or John can do this? Is there some special procedure, some
special certification or training that is required by the FAI? What
ensures and/or audits a commercial operation who is using computer
software to set the security to ensure it is done properly? I want to
understand the difference between the average joe (me) and a commercial
operation doing this task that was / still is in some instances conducted
by the 'official observer' on paper?

First, there is no way that you, an average Joe (Steve), can do this.
Everything to do with flight recorders must be secure so that you can
be in contests, set records, get badges or post to the OLC.

http://www.craggyaero.com/calibration.htm does reseals for $40 (which
isn't "hundreds of dollars").
