In terms of giving some kind of supply chain assurance it's not a bad idea by itself. I'd prefer a non-bricking variant with a red boot screen warning about non-original spare parts, or something to that effect.


Sure, but it's way too tempting and too short of a step from that, to "Sorry, this device won't work with unauthorized third-party parts... for your safety. Please shell out $$ for repairs from an Authorized Retailer, if you can find one and if they offer them."
