I'm not saying this is what's going on. I'm saying it's likely because of cost, laziness, and Capcom being Capcom. Plus the fire hazard thing. What other reason could cause a game publisher to issue such a warning?
As for the lockout chip, pirate cart manufacturers figured out a way to get past it decades ago. There's no reason to think these repro makers don't already know how to do that, especially when they've been selling bootlegged games on carts for years.
