From a biz standing point it makes sense, think about it like this say Verizon opened up all their android phones now customers can do anything to their phones. Now you have people breaking them and calling Verizon for help and getting angry because their phone doesn't work. That's the only reason, not because they want us to suffer but they're protecting customers from them selves
But most people that will actually take the chance of unlocking the bootloader or root will most likely know how to fix it if it bricks, and if they left it unlocked it would make it easier to fix our self without haven to call those aceholes when we can't have a custom recovery and no way of doing a flash fix. I do understand their point but most likely anyone who would need to call customer service is someone that hasn't and wouldn't try root. If they did they would probably seek help on here before they called Verizon also.

BTW I'm following your 4.4.4 thread waiting to see if you found root. Any update on that? I just 3 days ago had to flash a stock tar because I myself was messing with system files and messed up my jasmine rom 6.1 I've had and could no longer get it to respond once booted up, reset would fix it..this is also why unlocked bootloaders would have helped, they have in my past with many other phone I've had
