The only difference between this and Apple or other companies is that they even mentioned it. It's not something companies want to "educate" consumers about. It's something that exists and is outside what the company wants, but hey, you can still do it so long as the laws keep siding with the consumer. But at the same time there are indeed soft-ware/hardware mods that the companies can't warranty or trouble shoot. So washing their hands in those situations isn't that insane.
