    Apple's position of not warranting the upgrade is entirely reasonable in
the face of the variety of upgrades avaiable. If Apple warrantied all upgrades
produced by third parties they would have to be approved, checked, and rechecked
Since a 128k -> 512K upgrade involves cutting a trace and running two more 
chip select lines it is doubtful Apple would be able to certify any.
   You say in your article that if the rom was bad it should still be under
warrenty, likewise with the disk drive. What if one of the parts from the 
upgrade went bad in such a way as to toast your new rom and disk drive? Whose
responsibility is it to fix the rom + disk drive? 
   In conclusion, not warranting the upgrade is not a fiendish attempt to 
suck money from college students, rather apple is only not taking responsibility
for things they aren't responsible for.
