It feels like they're using software as a solution to a hardware problem.

No matter what the software says, or what keys it has set, the hardware should still be hard-configured to honour regional power output limits. This could be something like a block of DIP switches under the cover, so if a user unbolts the case, finds the switch, and toggles it to some country with looser requirements, it's obviously going against manufacturer advice and washes their hands of liability.
