The problem is when an upgrade limits or removes features from the time of first purchase - it's akin to changing the terms of an agreement after signing it.

For what it's worth, Sony were successfully sued when they tried this with OtherOS.
I don't know of any company that's been seriously challenged for disabling hacks, though.
Sony paid some users $10 and OtherOS functionality was never restored. Not a good precedent for consumers.
