They don’t prevent you from using aftermarket chargers. They just display a warning, which can be disabled in the BIOS.

I don't know what it's like currently, but when I stopped using Dell laptops a few years ago they wouldn't even boot if the battery was dead and you plugged in a third party charger or a charger with a busted data cable.
