That was an interesting article.

I think one motive (not the only one, but a key motive) of manufacturers is to prevent really shoddy third-party parts/service from soiling the reputation of a product/brand.

Naturally, another huge issue is modding/regional content locks/piracy ($$$$$).

TANGENT: Some idiots should never be opening up anything. Especially when capacitors/PSUs/shoddy-cheap-products are concerned.

Poking around the internals of that $1 power supply? That $2 coffee maker? CRT television?

OUCH!
