The "problem" is that android doesn't just encrypt data; it uses full disk encryption. That means, only things absolutely necessary are accessable before the password is entered. This absolutly necessary stuff does (to my knowledge) not include any diagnostics tools a technician would need to verify the existence of a problem or wether it has been solved. The new mode would probably just be a way to get more of the system decrypted so the technician can do their job.

Even though DLSS probably won't be Starfields biggest problem I see this being the start of some real trouble for the gaming industry. So far if one of the technology firms supported a game they improved it on their platform (or at least tried) but now AMD seems to want contractually to keep features from gamers on other platforms. If this trend continues we could end up with games that only properly work on one manufacturer...
