do you really think that will stop me from complaining, that a local flash update/overwrite (be it from a memory card, usb-stick or over ethernet) or a console of some kind (serial or ethernet), could have avoided all that?

For me this "one-time free rapair" reads like:
We repair it this time for free, so stop poking around in the innards of the system or the next time you will have to pay for sure.

I admit looking through the system files, with the content lister was neither clever nor "daily use". But I still keep my point, that this happened is a flaw in the software concept of the device (running everything as root ...).
