I guess what you see as pro-corporatist I see as pro-consumer in this case. Specifically, forcing the consumer to purchase a warranty that they would rather not purchase. I have no problem, for example, with common-law tenants of implied warranties, and in general, the right of customers to demand redress for obvious failures to meet expectations or deception on the part of companies (be the corporations or otherwise). I believe, though, that the consumer has a right to set a price on their own preference for risk, in general. In specific cases, especially where there are externalities involved, then it's reasonable to limit it (leaded gasoline, for example, or healthcare, for a more controversial (in the US) one), but I feel the starting point should be to let the consumer decide for themselves.
