But couldn't you then stand behind the fact that by default, Kodi is restricting Add-ons to only the official Repo, and anything different is a modification that is not supported?

Would it really be harder? It would require changing one setting when you first setup your unit, just the same as setting your audio, video, etc preferences. The benefit would be the user having to click OK or I ACCEPT to the disclaimer/agreement.
I will not pretend to understand the legal side of all of this... but if you did have a setting as above, and I was selling a pre-installed device full of piracy add-ons... would you then have more leverage to force me to cease sales, since I knowingly (by pressing OK/ I Accept) am breaking your terms of use?
I understand you don't want to do this just to make Amazon happy... but I have seen some of the discussions you have had about this on reddit, and there are a number of users who see Kodi in the same light as Amazon does... a piracy haven. Anything you can do to alter that mentality, even if it means I need to change a setting and agree to the terms when first setting up my device, can only help to separate you (Team-Kodi and it's assets) from the user modifications.
In the end, Kodi needs to be the Honda... and the 3rd party nitrous tanks I installed to street race have no reflection back to you.
