Error 53 could occur with an OEM original authorized Apple part.
You could have taken two iPhones fresh out of the box, swapped their buttons and they could
possibly lock.
The error was only specific to iOS 9 and as of 9.2.1 no longer occurs and even allows previously error 53 locked devices to be resurrected.
It was never a deliberate initiative on Apples part to punish people for 3rd party repairs.
It was a bug that only affected devices under certain conditions and has been addressed by Apple.
Even had it been intentional it would have been legal because a repair that affected the ability of the sensor and device to pair would have dramatically affected the ability of the device to perform as intended.
