I'm talking about home computers
Skill issue + not my problem. It doesn't matter if most people are competent, they should have full control over their property. The ones who fuck up will be responsible for the consequences of their actions. Most people are too stupid to use power tools correctly, but the last time I checked, I didn't have to nicely ask Milwaukee to unlock the bootloader on my drill so I could use it with torx bits.
If you're in the USA, however, you're allowed to do that by federal law, and Milwaukee is forbidden from voiding the warranty unless they can prove you serviced it incorrectly enough to cause the problem you're seeking warranty service for.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty_Act
The act was primarily written to target tie-in service for profit, which is not the primary motivation of companies making consumer electronics that are difficult to service today; they want it to be replaced, not repaired. It was effective for that purpose, and continues to be effective when enforced.
Moss isn't a panacea. It does not cover making devices impossible to service in a cost-effective manner, availability of parts, serialization, or other anti-repair practices. It's just about warranties.
Is your ability to deliberately misinterpret everything you read the result of study, or does it come naturally?
