It's the other way around: the phone only wants to talk to the parts it shipped with. Not with some knock-off battery that will also be dead in 6 months or TFT

  That's a false equivalency. Phones are also rejecting perfectly good parts, not the parts you cited. That's the whole problem here, and you try to make it seem as if it's about crappy parts not working. It's not. At all. Never has been.

    In nearly every case this has been claimed, it’s a part that has some security functionality or a part like a display or battery that requires some kind of calibration. Maybe they should put more effort into making that calibration easier but I don’t think anyone that currently uses their devices would trade that if it means the quality of the calibration or the security of the device goes down.

      This presumes Apple isn't lying through their teeth, claiming it is about security, or calibration, when it isn't.

        Except it is. What part on the phone can't be replaced? What is Apple lying about? Even if you don't calibrate the parts, the phone is still usable, you just don't get the features of the calibration - battery status/level, Touch ID, Face ID, etc. Can you give me an example of what you're referring to? A part that prevents use and doesn't require calibration or a part that Apple is lying about - either works.
