It makes sense from Apples perspective yes, I mean, after all third party repairs was seen as a huge threat to revenue.
As a user though, lol.

Well as a user who never broke an iPad screen I'd prefer this way too.
Less reason to steal, especially being in a country where Apple device prices are skyrocketing and theft common, I'd even pay more for this to happen as an insurance.

I sure hope you don't have a bag/case for it and leave it clearly visible so that any passing thieves knows it's an apple-device they should leave be.
That people encourage being stripped of rights is just wild. Can't wait to see where this will take us...

Well I don't have a case and I work a lot outsides.
What if someone runs away with it when I'm at the restroom?
Just because you don't need it doesn't mean that there aren't anyone who needs it.

"needs it"
What is "it"?
A completely false sense of security based in technological religion?
No, nobody needs that.
If I ("I" as the potential customer) can buy an iPad where I can trust Apple because they are taking many measures to make my iPad non-stealable (by practically removing many incentives to steal) it would create a trustworthy image and I'd feel safer, and Apple would have reached its goal of that image.
