Well not like MS could really forbid others from doing, but having more certified ones is a good thing.

Of course they could, many companies do this with replaceable parts. Software crypto key, special hardware chip, etc.

They can try, but still we always get not only counterfeit and knock offs but several non-licensed accessories. But as I said having several official vendors is good (but well we don't don't if there will be much of a price difference at first or during most of the console life... unfortunately 200USD for a 1Tb is very expensive and basically make Series S with one cost the same as Series X getting 500Gb advantage but much lower performance).
