Apple is a very well documented example of companies intentially disallowing replacement parts.
Many of their parts are linked to the motherboard in software, and even a doner replacement from another decide restricts features.
There's a line between warning the user that the repair is potentially dangerous and removing their right of ownership to repair their product unless apple had authorised it.
