From my current understanding, that's not how other devices work.
If you go and buy a 30$ BaoFung and operate it on bands that the device is not certified to be used under ( CB/MURS/wakie talkie bands) then you can be fined for using it.
On the other hand, if you are a HAM then you have full access to do whatever you'd like in that regard. It doesn't even need to be for within your license class. So long as you are legally allowed to transmit on that band, you can do so as a HAM.
This was done because lots of us HAMs build our own equipment.
