I don't think this makes much sense. Currently the Intel chips aren't open at all. If they were open, then this article might have a point - demanding that Intel replace or fix their broken products would indeed cause issues.
But that's the point. The hardware is not open. If anything, tightening warranty for closed hardware and loosening it for open hardware would likely have the opposite effect - it would make Intel open their code (if we follow the logic of the article).
