This is why they have draconian laws about bypassing DRM and decompiling. They don't want people to understand how insecure and horribly built software is. Someone who knows anything about computer boards can easily do this and dump the flash contents. The firmware engineers don't expect anyone to take the device apart and then be able to bypass hardware features.
Security is one of those things that companies hate because it's expensive to implement and consumers don't understand the value of it. It only gets implemented after a breech and then only if people make a big deal out of it.
