So if an application on your PC makes it overheat and break the PC is at fault for being defective and you get to RMA it? What about a laptop? And a Camera is different how?

In the end it would be faulty / bad design that makes the Camera fail. And that is absolutely a valid reason the RMA it.

Kernel code can absolutely brick your PC due to how much it can do. This could be fixed at a UEFI/microcode level, but not without taking a lot of control away from the OS and the end user.
