Yes, and I'm arguing it's badly counter-productive, because it actually increases unauthorised copying. (There are other ways to do it, like blocking access to modded consoles while detecting them as modded, and stripping game achievements and gamerscore for those games, which would achieve the same result and keep future revenue possibilities open!)

And there are these little things like consumer rights to consider, which Australia has when it's explicitly authorised modding because of region locking. You can't handwave them away.

I'm very much in the "pragmatist" school of thought when it comes to unauthorised copying. I bitterly oppose measures which would drive us into the same corner as the music industry, despite some people's best efforts...the games industry is poorly enough regarded enough as it is!
