Is it surprising that manufacturers don't wish to risk their certification and liability suits by letting third parties modify their devices?
On the contrary, it is quite the expected. That is why people are not speaking against the manufacturers.
What many of us don't get is that hackers are so willing (even eager it would seem) to be their master's puppets. Many network behaviors are illegal, but I don't see hackers advocating for closed (or worse, locked) networking stacks. Well, live and see.
