I agree, but the thing about having to honor the warranty even in the case of consumer misuse would inflate prices. (I don't know if EU warranty law actually works like that, I'm just going off the previous comment.)

Nope, if you can prove it was due to customer misuse you don't have to cover it.

So a eg. broken screen is still a customers problem, unless they somehow manage to prove in court that the screens were shitty and break under what would be presumed "normal use". That's why there are basically no ads showing stuff like "survives falls from 10 meters high" here.
