Apple has been trying to crush repair supply chains for years claiming that any parts entering the country that could be used to repair them aren't legitimate parts, because of infringement of patents, etc...
on parts that Apple made, and put into devices that failed, and were then pulled for use elsewhere.
Provenance is to prevent forgery, there's no forgery going on here... just Apple trying to eliminate the concept and tradition of property rights for someone who buys something from them, using whatever flimsy excuse they can find.
