Do you honestly not see the difference between rendering a piece of legally-purchased hardware unusable and rendering a piece of illegally-pirated software unusable?
People who hacked their iPhones are still paying Apple customers. Sure, they violated the terms of their agreement and thus should not be entitled to warranty and tech support, but there's a whole world of difference between that and having Apple break their own hardware.
A more apt analogy would be what Microsoft does to modded Xboxes...they don't intentionally brick the hardware, they just make it so that hacked units can't access Xbox Live.
