I get it, I fixit is in a business where being able to pull pieces out of one dead device to use in another is/would be profitable. However parts pair can actually serve real purpose - there are plenty of “separate” devices like this finger print scanners, facial recognition, etc that are necessarily physically separate from the SoC or what have you, but are functionally a single component with the SEP inside that SoC. If someone can arbitrarily replace those sensors then that becomes an attack vector. Things become problematic/stupid when non security sensitive parts are peered. Things like the battery - while there’s an argument for reporting possible tampering, it seems to me that it should be possible to dismiss this one with a “yeah I know” - from the article it least it isn’t aggressively bricking the device, but still
