The reasons provided are the thin veneer of validity to excuse modifying it for my own fun and preference. If I needed a reason not to do it, the knowledge that it will take any amount of time out of my day is enough. I can’t choose to use a different cpu microcode, I can’t choose to live in a nation that isn’t a shithole, I can’t choose to not participate in consumerism, but I can choose to cut open shitty Walmart tools and replace the shitty proprietary metal prongs with something I choose to put there. Just because I can’t choose most things doesn’t means I shouldn’t use and enjoy the choices I can have.
