Yes. They should be able to ban you from their online platform if you misuse it and don't behave yourself but they shouldn't have a right to brick the device you've bought, no matter what you do.

If this was the law, then companies would change the way their products work or the way they ban people. Instead of banning, on Facebook, they would prevent the user from posting and interacting with other users. You would in essence get a very nice advert-only feed but not banned.

And in the process making the experience deliberately awful.

I don't see how that doesn't indicate that outlawing a requirement for an account is so much more preferable.

Excellent point on the getting a refund years later. I've edited my comment to add that there would need to be depreciation on the refund.
