    That's quite disappointing. Whose hardware is it anyways? Yours, when you pay for it.

      Except that they have to deal with angry people who bought a dodgy chipped unit.

      Yeah it's stupid, but people doesn't know better, they'll complain loudly Raspberry PI is sh* it doesn't work and the Pi Foundation are scammers.

      I can understand why they don't want that.

        I seriously doubt that is any more than a theoretical problem, and even if it isn't, so what? People start a warranty claim, send the boards to RPi, they run diagnostics, detect the changed RAM and deny the claim.
