Yes alarm systems are connected to fear of insurance fraud.

Although!

Right to repair does not forbid insurance companies to forbid it. But can I please repair my home alarm system, thanks.

The problem is that it's impossible to tell that an alarm system has been repaired by a third party. For building repairs, we have building inspectors; but there's no such thing as a tiny-electronics-soldering-job inspector.
