The other car manufacturers seem to cope, it's not particularly obvious why Tesla should be unique in that respect and why they need to lock everything down to such an extent.

I've heard way too many Volt-on-fire related jokes to agree, unfortunately. Tesla had a very aggressive response to the Tesla accident a few years back, and still suffered as a result of it.
Big retailers like Lowes cultivate a reputation of catering to construction workers while also being approachable to weekend warriors, which insulates them from the downside of product safety issues, somewhat.
