That does not make absolutely any sense at all. Why would they care about what people in private use controllers for? Why would they care enough to actively program something preventing that?

Doing “that” then trying to make a warranty claim.
I don’t know if OP’s claim is true, but I could see a company doing that to try and prevent unintended uses so to prevent damage/malfunction.
