I think you're overanalyzing it. Why should Verizon have to deal with bricked phones because some user wanted to root it? How do they train their tech support to be familiar with every ROM variation to even provide support? The simple solution is to "void warranty" - or force the user to switch back to stock ROM before support will be provided.
