That's how every laptop manufacturer works. Speak to dell or hp or Asus and say you want one brand of hard drive over another, they will say no. You're still free to do it yourself, but they won't do it for you. 

If you want a customised laptop there are companies out there who build from an empty chassis like eurocom or PC Specialist. If you want long term direct from the manufacturer support then look to business grade laptops like thinkpads and dell latitudes, parts for which will be available 5-10 years later.

Personally I'm interested in a pinebook pro so I can do odd things that no other laptop manufacturer would allow, like hooking up a particulate monitor internally.
