IMO it would not make much sense to announce a partnership with a respected proponent of repairability and then say "but using them will still void your warranty" Much like the greenwashing with the recycled plastics, it would make more sense to me if this were Kobo trying to establish a point of difference and stress their "we're the good guys" position.
