It's not "their devices". I recently bought a house and the previous owner kept trying to influence what I did with it, and everyone -- even those in government who ultimately had to help enforce my ownership rights -- agreed with me that that was ridiculous and intolerable. When Apple, Samsung, or whoever else sells something it isn't their's anymore! They have no right to continued involvement in it! That's how selling works!
They have a responsibility to engineer it properly and to fix consequences of poor engineering, since they are selling something as capable of various features and presumably safe.

Do they have any continued responsibility for it to not explode or break in other ways?

What about warranty?
