Well to be completely honest; even if Apple in no way helps me fix ther products, them simply just stopping to actively make it harder would be a giant leap forward.

That's what they aren't doing, though. They're trying to rig it where the only parts that will work are new ones purchased from them. They're also making third party repairmen have a nearly impossible time to do it for you due to all this call in and activate part nonsense.
