I'm very fine with voiding my warranty when doing modifications to the system, but all I want is to run custom software in the userspace (at least). That's how computers work and Apple wants us to consider their devices computers[0].

Some people might want to have full access to the OS, but allowing custom software in the userspace would still be a huge step and enough for most people.

p.s. It's hard to compare a computing device to a car because what's an equivalent of usespace in car? Changing oil? Changing tires? You can do it yourself, you can even change spark plugs, without voiding your warranty.
