The thing is, that's my own damn fault and I can own the fuckup.

Like, I'll happily void my warranty and render my own stuff nonfunctional using unsanctioned parts. I'm less happy if a device is explicitly built to detect unsanctioned parts and ceases to function if they're used. Like when Keurig was talking about making its coffeemakers detect, and reject, non-Keurig branded coffee pods.

Hell, we're getting to the point where devices are rejecting sanctioned, first-party parts if you don't pony up cash back to the original seller. Farmers in the midwest are resorting to the Ukrainian hackers to jailbreak their John Deere tractors because in order to swap a part out, a Genuine John Deere Technician(tm) has to plug in a dongle and tell the tractor to accept the thing, a process whose only purpose is to transfer money from the farmer to John Deere.
