Bruh... it's effectively the same thing.
If you work on your car and reassemble it incorrectly, the dealer is allowed to not cover it.
In this case, you may not misassemble it, but you've broken the "seal" as it were. If you pull off your oil pan, the dealer can make the argument that anything inside the oil pan/in the pickup tube was placed there by you (either intentionally or accidentally). I'm not saying you would do this, I am saying there are people out there that will do this: break their car through inattention or ineptitude, then button it up and play dumb.
The singular job of service managers, much like insurance agents, is to make semantic arguments to avoid losing money, and they've been denying warranty claims for weaker reasons for decades.
As to the second part of your statement... not everything's a conspiracy.
