Why the warranty void warning on OP of a ROM?

Why does everyone put: "WARNING:Upon flashing this "ROM" your warranty will be voided." in their OP.


Technically your warranty was voided long before you even got to flashing a ROM so it's actually kind of useless....

Its just a disclaimer so someone doesn't blame the dev for what happens to their phone. Its kind of like the warning on hemorrhoid ointment that says you shouldn't ingest it. Common sense tells you that you shouldn't eat it but obviously its happened before or they wouldn't put it on there....

Ehhh, true. Common sense isn't too common
