Why wouldn't I? If I cared about modifying the device, I'd buy a device I could modify. Again, to me, it's about the code, not about the device. The fact that they use my code in a device that I can't modify is no more insulting than that they use it in other devices that I simply have no interest in owning.
If you care about modifiable devices, buy modifiable devices.
To my mind, they have complied with the essential fairness requirement by providing their code.
