Is it? They explicitly did never support the fileysystem on the mentioned device and it was only possible because of a bug in their implementation.

I don‘t want to be on any side. But is it wrong to fix a bug?

Seems like it was a marketing bug ("spec says: only provide this feature for people who paid us more money", implementation says: "everyone gets this feature"), but the "fix" is for the affected people to move everything out of the affected devices, reset them, and copy the data back.
