Rollerons, such as are used on the Sidewinder missile, are a relatively simple way to limit the spin on a rocket.
Simple wind-spun gyros torque against the fins if the rocket spins, making them pivot to counter the spin.
Could be cheaper and/or easier than precision machining.
How often have you heard of people who are lost in the woods/at sea, and who could have called for help if they had cell phone connectivity?
