> Yes, software modifications are easier to hide

Not if you hash the software and find its been adjusted. In that sense it is easier to detect.

What happens if the user modifies the software, the modified software causes a malfunction, the user resets the software to the factory version, then takes it in to a shop while claiming they never modified the software in the first place?
