That's fair, just like Apple devices (phones and iPods) have/had a detector in the headphone port for water damage.
Lotta manufacturers have done that. I had an Android phone back in the day that was notorious for false positives on the moisture detectors. The phone was a piece of shit and a lot of people wrongly got denied on warranty claims because of supposed moisture.
