Looking at the 9to5mac comments... Yikes. People seem to really misunderstand the difference between something that actually has to be repaired/replaced by a manufacturer (pretty much nothing) and deliberate vendor lock in. Even when it comes to vehicle repairs/replacement of things like transponder keys which are tied to a specific vehicle, it would be just as secure and simple to have a method for the end user or 3rd party repair shop to program the transponder. The fact the tools are only available from the OEM dealer and certain repair shops is just obfuscation not security. Pretty much every transponder implementation gets reverse engineered which is sold to companies that make things like remote start modules, etc. There is absolutely no legitimate reason to not let user's manually authorize a new screen or other components.
