So?

Does Ford have the right to tell you which roads you can drive on, so you won’t mess up the suspension?

They certainly do tell you which parts you can add to your car that will void the warranty or make it illegal to drive on the street

Notice in your example, they still give you the freedom to do it in the first place.

Apple Car would weld the bonnet shut and you wouldn't even be able to change the oil yourself.

The parts won’t work if you mess with the computer anymore than they will with Apple. You can hack into it and be malicious, which is what you’re talking about doing here

I am not, but if it makes you feel better to put words in my mouth then I will not begrudge you that.
