I'd rather have the choice myself—after all, it is incredibly unlikely your phone would actually catch fire.
Honestly, I don't think they get to make that call once the device is in consumer hands. In this case it was for "the greater good", but now the fence posts can be moved in a bit more the next time they feel justified towards remotely manipulating something that isn't theirs.
