Double standard?
On consumer versions of Windows, you can’t change the wallpaper (among other things) following a parts replacement without Microsoft needing to validate your repair either. iFixit rates Framework laptops a 10/10 despite a similar software lock to what iOS has being present in Windows. The fact that it’s piss poor DRM that can be easily bypassed like every other form of “protection” Microsoft includes is irrelevant, it’s the exact same kind of trickery Apple uses and has the same effect on legitimate repairs.
Perhaps iFixit should review all their scores derived from assessing anything which isn’t shipping with unlocked ChromeOS, Android, Linux or FreeDOS?
