What product license? As the producer of some physical item, you don't get a say in what I can do with it after I bought it. Especially not if I never did any deal with you in the first place, but bought the thing through a long distribution chain of middlemen.

It's only with software that people consider it acceptable for the vendor to tell you what you can and can't do.
