These devices must now all be treated as if they’re rooted. That’s a gigantic security problem. Casual analysis here says “well it would be hard to install a new OS, so it’s not a big deal.” That is a terrible security assumption. We don’t know what other changes could be done to a rooted device, but anybody with a sensible security mindset would assume something undesirable is possible. So, the outcome might be harsh, but it is NOT overreacting to promptly deal with secure devices becoming easily rooted.
