Exactly!  Vendors barely have time to test things on
"supported hardware (configurations!)" let alone trying to chase
down every conceivable combination of components to see (prove!)
if they do or DON'T work.

IANAL.  But, I *think* that part of this is a necessary requirement
if Apple wants to claim copyright protections.  If you don't *defend*
your copyright (patent, etc.) then you "lose" it.  So, folks who are 
very *obviously* infringing almost *force* a response (albeit lame)
lest others use this as a *legal* defense for outright theft!
