That said, if the manufacturer does not want to issue a RMA they can just not issue the RMA at all,
Or charge you top dollar for a motherboard swap with one that had undergone shit-grade repairs with a rubber thing pressing on a chip to make sure it stays in contact with the board (yes also Apple).
We might see less buggy and insecure microcode if it wasn't as easy to auto update firmware.
You would be either playing russian roulette with a massive clusterfuck disaster like a large hardware recall, or forcing to slow down advancement by orders of magnitude (i.e. a new CPU every 10 years instead of every year)
