But are you confusing OS with firmware? When you root your phone, you basically have to overwrite the firmware, eg, the recovery bootloader, to be able to flash a ROM. I'm pretty sure a laptop vendor would consider your warranty void if you decided to flash your BIOS with something other than an official update.

Your argument hold true if phone manufactures does not go out of the way preventing installation of custom ROM. Most of the manufactures design boot loader to specifically disallow installation of customs ROM.
