Whomever came up with the idea, designed and implemented the code to check the date and disable the boot has bricked it. Sometimes answer is murky: there might be miscommunications or changing requirements or software bugs or evil management.. but in this case the answer is pretty obvious: SWARG came up with the idea, SWARG designed this, SWARG implemented this. (unless you think ORQA itself came with the idea of beicking their own product.. but I seriously doubt this based on their reaction)
