Without question, I totally agree...

"Warranty" covers more than just "engine and transmission". It's is not correct to state, without providing specific details, that a tune will void "the warranty". If you have a tune and your electronic seats stop working, that doesn't mean they can deny a faulty seat because of your tune.

Back in the day, manufacturers did that practice (denying engine claims due to aftermarket suspension springs). It has to be proven that a modification contributed to the failure for it to be denied a warranty claim. There was a significant court case in the US which established that precedent.

However with an ECU aftermarket tune, for engine/transmission warranty work, the burden is on the owner to prove it did not contribute to the specific issue.
