You can have both though. Just add some random menu in the settings that turns bright red when using a non-certified component so security can be easily verified, but don’t needlessly lock people out and charge $500 to fix a $10-50 module on a $1000 phone

Adding on to this, Ifixit isn’t outlawing verification, the above example of whatever red warning is a clear way they could keep it.
