If you pay X for a chip getting all the features as advertised at one point in time then decide to pay Y to have features uprated and this involves unlocking the currently installed chip I do not see any problem. If they market X as Y then make you pay later then I have a problem with.
As Squilliam pointed out this could work very well in the laptop business meaning less model variants and a simple process to unlock power later. The laptop manufacturers win in so much as they do not pay for the additional power the consumer wins as they can unlock the power later without losing the initial investment (this does assume sensible pricing) then I do not see a problem.
