What other industry is allowed to just do this? Its robbery. If I want to buy an Xbox and mod it to hell I should be able to. At most they should be able to disconnect me from their online infrastructure. Not brick my console.

Furniture? Pretty sure they can't come into my house to cut the feet off my tables, anyway.

they can brick your "smart" table, turning it into just wood, just as they can brick your switch, turning it into... a brick
