Lotta manufacturers have done that. I had an Android phone back in the day that was notorious for false positives on the moisture detectors. The phone was a piece of shit and a lot of people wrongly got denied on warranty claims because of supposed moisture.
So the purpose is to protect them if someone overclocks and fries it, meaning they know if you take it in under warranty and say you want this faulty part replaced?
That’s fair, just like Apple devices (phones and iPods) have/had a detector in the headphone port for water damage.
