Although I like your reply. I want to point out that when android devices were r o o t e d to get updates that actually worked and that had the ability to remove all bloatware from the carrier, there was and still is no law that says your warranty is voided.
However, the phone companies will not update your devices until the r o o t e d has been returned to factory settings. And the carriers have all stuck to this qualifier.
Alteration to your device does not necessarily mean cosmetic alteration but any alteration to the OS is still an alteration and that is the grounds Verizon and others will not warrant or provide updates to such altered devices.
No matter what Microsoft say's. It is totally carrier dependent what they want or allow on their networks.
