Is anyone reading the article? This is about part pairing where they prevent swapping parts even from like machines by third party repair shops. Louis Rossman found this issue on even some mundane parts where you just cannot replace them and have a functioning device.

So replace a part and the software blocks the phone use of it or worse disables other features.
