No, no, no. Custom hardware-specific images are a good thing - when done by

In the mean time, everyone else has covered the reasoning in more
detail. You want to have a proper default config in place, so if you
reset to factory defaults, your interface assignments go back to where
they were originally, serial console setup appropriately where
relevant, etc. There also may be hardware-specific tweaks or tuning in
such images. It's done to make your experience with the hardware as
hassle-free as possible.
To echo Tim's thoughts, thank you for this kind of openness. After
reading the fist few replies to the tread I started, I thought I may
have really stepped in it.
However, this thread has brought out some details of the relationship
between the two companies... and I'm very glad that you guys have shared
this with the community.
Thanks again,
Andy Hull
