> they should just let people jail break the phone and offer zero support for it

That would be significantly more fair to the end users than the current status quo, if they won't intentionally make obstacles for those users.

Obviously, that's not happening.

Note there could easily be even more obstacles than there are. Third party apps like banking apps actually have extra jailbreaking checks; first party apps don't, you can still watch DRM movies, and afaik it doesn't void the warranty. At least not if nobody notices.
