I don't understand this logic. It hasn't happened yet, so it's definitely going to happen? And not only that, but it's going to happen "by design"? As if TX had installed a killswitch they are going to press to purposefully brick all of their customers' Switches.
And if someone writes a homebrew app that triggers the brick, then the fault's on them. They could have as easily written the brick into their homebrew app itself, so... I really don't understand your scenario. I agree with cearp: it seems you're eager to have someone trigger that brick so people "learn their lesson" because they didn't listen to you. You know, a thinly-veiled threat.
