Again, this is a commercial real world.

Hi.

Commercial brandname products are for sales just like any other business, be it "eningeering" design like an audio amp, or bakery like cheeseburger.

You're not wrong from your DIYer view point. But you think they care
about you for fixing their products which they definitely want to discourage? They are running a business, NOT a neighbourhood advice
centre working for nothing. Like it or not, what they are doing is legistimate. You'd do the same thing if you were an amp OEM.

Of course, to protect their interest, a manufacturer will design their products so uniquely as to stam off copcats & design hackers.
Patenting their designs is the last coffin-nail.

Good listening
