Yup, JD has taken some heat over having to have someone "authorize" a repair/part replacement in the field after it has been done before the tractor will go again.
Apple is known for parts-pairing too, and is taking serious heat in Europe for it. Of course, the European courts are what is getting all of us a standard USB-C charging/data port on the next gen iPhones, no way US courts would do something like that to benefit consumers
