I get the design too, and IMHO the manufacturer made a poor design choice.
It's not that the user necessarily thinks he knows better than the amp designer but it is expected that one shouldn't have to worry about blowing up the amp if you choose not to use cables supplied by the amp maker.
If I buy a flashlight made by Duracell should I be forced to use Duracell batteries for fear of wrecking the flashlight?

You are "forced" to use a specific Transmission Fluid with virtually every model car or truck you can buy. Fail to use ATF+4 in your Chrysler Automatic and you can expect to be replacing it in 60,000 miles.Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't, but even with your flashlight analogy, you are "forced" to use a compatible battery.
There are a number of topologies an amplifier designer can choose to explore and implement. Some are more stable than others, even though they may all work into an easy 8-ohm load loudspeaker.
If you want to use unusual cables and loudspeaker loads, then the QUAD 303 is stable unconditionally into any load, including a direct short circuit. Others seem to explode if you look at them funny. It's not like there isn't a choice, but it does help if you meet the amplifier designer half way.
