I imagine it has to do with integrity of the system. If people start messing with it and leave some sensors unplugged and there's an incident, the first thing survivors are going to do is sue the manufacturer despite having tampered with it.
I'm surprised to see airbags didn't make the list. Some things, amateurs really shouldn't mess with.

I don't think auto parts need right to repair, as far as I know companies like Dorman Products are allowed to reverse-engineer pretty much any part of a car, manufacture, market and sell them.
- Tangurena2 3y agoWhen I was younger, I worked at a company that made a burglar alarm (among other things). The UL test for alarm systems which have a fire alarm function was the hardest thing to test. It had to simulate "lighting hits nearby and the fire alarm still has to work" test. The 10KV spike on the power line was setting fire to the alarm units.
