Same negative press. Same empty lawsuits threats.
The issue here is that there is no secure way to authenticate the TouchID's enclave with the logic board after the hardware repair unless it's done by someone with access to their internal network.
You can dismiss the security concerns, but they're very real, especially with banks involved.
Some people should really try to understand the issue before calling it a money grab by Apple.

Looks like some people did understand the issue.
Apple released 9.2.1 that re-enables phones but deactivates Touch ID. They also apologized and will offer reimbursements for people who bought new phones because the old one was bricked.
