Modified ROMs and chips have been passed around for decades now with the tacit approval of the manufacturers. There are some exceptions like Toyota, who are notorious for making uncrackable ECUs. That just goes to show you that if manufacturers really wanted to keep you out of there, they could.
As others have mentioned, this would be next to impossible to enforce and cost way more money than simply enabling the security fuse in the microcontroller. I'm a big fan of the EFF but I think they're making mountains out of molehills here.
This is simply not an issue.
