If it sounds overzealous, consider things like "Positioning must not obstruct visual or physical access to aircraft controls and displays, flightcrew ingress or egress, or external vision' So all the certification requirements mean somebody had to map out where it goes and how. Including CAD drawings, any recurring maintenance tasks, research on sub-supplier quality, troubleshooting procedures, a reliable replacement supply chain, and so on. And have all that reviewed, documented and approved for each type/subtype of aircraft it's certified on. If the process were more lax, it's not hard to imagine a problem with pilot visibility of some control (or whatever) starting a bad chain of events.
