Possible to add push button start?

I found this product and they seem to be making some pretty "fantastical" claims about features and even attempt to copy the keyfob design.
I know its probably Chinese junk, but i wanted to hear anyone's take on things that are part of current gen ignition that would likely prevent this from working.
Please be gentle with your criticism... I'm new to Ford f-150 world of electronic this and that. I've restored older trucks but I'm still getting my feet wet in the newer ForScan driven world.

My last vehicle and my wife's last 2 vehicles have had push-button and it's amazing... I never took my key out of my pocket until taking my keys out at night to go to bed. Touch the door/push button on door handle to unlock/lock, push button to start, the key never needs to be out. For women, they can leave the key in their purse all the time, never take it out. It's a superior system. I would expect it to be standard on all U.S. market cars within 5 year models. Right now they're just using it as a selling point to get you to move up in option level.
